Quick Start

Antigravity Awesome Skills provides a vast, installable collection of over 1,470 agentic skills designed to enhance your AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, and others. These skills are structured instructions, or SKILL.md playbooks, that empower your AI to perform complex tasks with better context, stronger constraints, and more predictable outputs.

This section will guide you through the rapid installation and your first steps in using these powerful skills.

Installation

The quickest way to get started and make Antigravity Awesome Skills available on your local system is by using npx. This command will install the necessary skill playbooks and assets into a local directory, preparing them for use with your preferred AI coding assistant.

npx antigravity-awesome-skills

This command will fetch the latest version and set up the entire library of skills, bundles, and workflows on your machine.

Exploring Available Skills

Once installed, you can easily discover and browse the comprehensive catalog of skills to find those relevant to your current task:

Online Catalog: For a searchable and interactive experience, visit the dedicated section in the main project README: Browse 1,470+ Skills on GitHub.
Local Access: After installation, the SKILL.md files and their accompanying assets (like code templates or scripts) are organized in a local directory created by the installer, allowing you to review their contents directly.

Using Skills with Your AI Agent

Antigravity Awesome Skills are designed to be integrated seamlessly with various AI coding assistants. While each tool may have its own specific mechanism for consuming skills, the core principle involves providing the AI with the structured instructions from a SKILL.md playbook.

Select a Skill: Browse the online catalog and identify a skill that aligns with your current development task, such as "API Design Principles" or "Security Code Review."
Access the Playbook: Open the chosen SKILL.md file. These files contain detailed instructions, contextual information, and specific constraints for the AI to follow.
Integrate with Your Tool:
- Direct Prompting: For most AI assistants (e.g., in a chat interface or prompt window), you can simply copy the entire content of the SKILL.md playbook. Paste this content at the beginning of your prompt, followed by your specific request or code context.
- Tool-Specific Integration: Advanced AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or Gemini CLI often provide native integration or plugin support for structured skills. Refer to the "Next Steps" section for guides tailored to specific tools.

Conceptual Example:

Let's illustrate how you might use a skill like api-design-principles/SKILL.md with your AI agent:

// --- Start of SKILL.md Content ---
# Skill: REST API Design Principles
## Goal
Design a production-ready REST API following best practices for scalability, security, and maintainability.

## Context
A well-designed REST API is crucial for modern applications. It should be stateless, use standard HTTP methods,
have clear resource naming, and implement proper error handling and versioning.

## Constraints
- Adhere to HATEOAS where applicable.
- Ensure endpoints are idempotent for PUT/DELETE operations.
- Use appropriate HTTP status codes (2xx, 4xx, 5xx).
- Implement robust input validation.
- Consider pagination for collection resources.

## Output
A detailed API specification including:
- Endpoint definitions (path, method, summary, parameters, example responses).
- Data models (request/response schemas).
- Authentication and authorization considerations.
- Error handling strategy.
// --- End of SKILL.md Content ---

---

// Your specific request to the AI assistant
Apply these "REST API Design Principles" to design an API for a project management system.
It should include endpoints for managing projects, tasks, and users, with authentication
via JWT and role-based authorization (admin, project_manager, developer).
Provide example JSON payloads for creating a project and listing tasks.
