## Google Antigravity SDK

### Installation & Setup

Before proceeding with any Google Antigravity tasks, ensure the environment is ready:

- **Verify Applicability**: If operating in an existing codebase, verify that using this Python SDK is possible and appropriate for the project.
- **Check Dependencies**: Check if `google-antigravity` is listed in the project's dependencies (e.g., `requirements.txt`, `pyproject.toml`).
- **Install Package**: Ensure the `google-antigravity` Python package is installed.
- **Authentication Setup**:
  - The SDK defaults to hosted Gemini models with an API key ( `LocalAgentConfig`). When running on-device or without cloud connectivity is desired, local models ( `LiteRTAgentConfig` or `LocalOpenAIAgentConfig`) can be used as an alternative without an API key or cloud credentials.
  - **Hosted Models (Gemini - Default)**: Check for a valid `GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable or a `.env` file (required to access Gemini models).
    - If credentials are missing, you MUST actively help the user get set up with an API key by providing the following link:
      - Default to Google AI Studio: `https://aistudio.google.com/app/api-keys`
    - Explain that the API key can be passed explicitly in code as shorthand (e.g., `LocalAgentConfig(api_key="...")`) or automatically read from the environment.
    - For Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI) authentication, the SDK supports both Standard Mode and Express Mode:
      - **Standard Mode (ADC)**: Instruct the user to run `gcloud auth application-default login` and configure the agent with `vertex=True` along with `project` and `location` in `LocalAgentConfig`.
      - **Express Mode (API Key)**: Configure the agent with `vertex=True` along with `api_key="your-express-api-key"` in `LocalAgentConfig` (no ADC or regional project/location needed).
  - **Local Models (Alternative)**: For local models ( `LiteRTAgentConfig` or `LocalOpenAIAgentConfig`), no API key or cloud credentials are needed. LiteRT is the supported on-device runtime for local models (such as Gemma 4 26B). See `references/local_models.md` and `examples/getting_started/local_models.md` for setup details.

### Routing Table

Use the following information to dig deeper into specific topics based on the user request. Read the referenced files or explore the directories to find relevant information.

#### References

- If the user needs to understand the high-level overview and core concepts of the Google Antigravity SDK (Agent, Conversation, Connection), read `references/architecture.md`.
- If the user needs to perform advanced agent configuration (e.g., selecting appropriate models, configuring execution behavior via `agent_behavior`—defaulting to autonomous vs interactive—or configuring connection reliability), or understand the critical rules for model identifiers to avoid assumptions, read `references/agent_configuration.md`.
- If the user needs to extend an agent's capabilities by integrating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, or configure tool permissions for the agent, read `references/mcp_integration.md`.
- If the user needs to define safety policies, resolve execution order, restrict agent actions using predicates, or run terminal commands inside an OS-level sandbox, read `references/safety_policies.md`.
- If the user needs to debug failed agents, stream logs, or implement error recovery using hooks to make agents robust, read `references/error_handling.md`.
- If the user needs to monitor costs, track token usage (including thinking tokens), or build custom audit logs for advanced monitoring, read `references/observability.md`.
- If the user needs to see a list of built-in tools and understand their default state, read `references/built_in_tools.md`.
- If the user needs to run agents locally using on-device models ( `LiteRTAgentConfig` for the supported on-device runtime, or `LocalOpenAIAgentConfig` for external OpenAI-compatible servers like Ollama/LM Studio), understand hardware requirements, or configure local execution, read `references/local_models.md`.

#### Examples

- If the user needs to implement basic agent behavior, streaming responses, or expose internal thoughts, read `examples/getting_started/hello_world.md`.
- If the user needs to customize or override default retry behavior and exponential backoff for API errors or schema validation, read `examples/getting_started/customizing_retries.md`.
- If the user needs to equip an agent with custom capabilities (tools) derived from Python functions, or maintain agent state across tool execution, read `examples/getting_started/custom_tool.md`.
- If the user needs to shape an agent's persona, define its system instructions, or dynamically adapt its behavior, read `examples/getting_started/persona_config.md`.
- If the user needs to build multimodal agents capable of processing images and PDFs, or generating visual content, read `examples/getting_started/multimodal.md`.
- If the user needs to implement multi-agent delegation, allowing a main agent to spawn and orchestrate subagents, or configure multi-tier nested subagent hierarchies (using `max_subagent_depth` and `allowed_subagents`), read `examples/getting_started/subagents.md`.
- If the user needs to connect an agent to external services via MCP (Stdio or SSE), read `examples/getting_started/mcp_tools.md`.
- If the user needs to create proactive agents that respond to time-based events or file system triggers in the background, read `examples/getting_started/periodic_trigger.md`.
- If the user needs to intercept agent lifecycle events (e.g., pre/post turn, stop, tool execution, errors) to customize execution flow, read `examples/getting_started/hooks.md`.
- If the user needs to implement turn-level cancellation or programmatic stream aborts, read `examples/getting_started/cancellation.md`.
- If the user needs to implement persistent agents that remember past interactions across sessions, read `examples/getting_started/persistence.md`.
- If the user needs to override the default application data directory for agent artifacts, scratch files, and media storage, read `examples/getting_started/app_data_dir_override.md`.
- If the user needs an agent to output structured data (e.g., JSON matching a Pydantic schema) for reliable integration, read `examples/getting_started/structured_output.md`.
- If the user needs to add, configure, or load agent skills into the Google Antigravity SDK agent, read `examples/getting_started/agent_skills.md`.
- If the user needs to enable and use built-in web tools (like Google Search or URL fetching) with the agent, read `examples/getting_started/web_tools.md`. (Note: when fetching massive web pages or articles, pair `read_url_content` with `view_file` to inspect cached disk files).
- If the user needs to enforce session operational limits (model or tool calls) or proactive token budget controls (input, output, or total tokens) and handle `StopReason`, read `examples/getting_started/budget_limits.md`.
- If the user needs to set up and run a local model agent (LiteRT, or an OpenAI-compatible server like Ollama), including model download, hardware requirements, and context compaction configuration, read `examples/getting_started/local_models.md`.
- If the user needs to configure conversation context limits and compaction thresholds to handle long-running sessions, read `examples/getting_started/compaction.md`.
