I spent 100+ hours in AntiGravity. Here are 50 things I learned.
Setup, speed, integrations, and cost tricks. All in one email.
Howdy, beautiful AI Automator,
I've spent over 100 hours building inside AntiGravity this year.
Most of what I learned early on was the hard way. Burning tokens. Getting stuck in loops. Missing features that were right in front of me.
That sounds like a lot of work, right? Here's everything you need to know 👇
I broke everything down into 50 actionable steps, organized into 6 categories. Save this email. You'll come back to it.
Setup & Project Organization
1) 📁 One Project Per URL
Create a separate project folder for each unique URL. If building a dashboard or website with one URL, that's one project. Different URL? New project. Use the agent manager feature to chat with any individual project whenever needed.
2) 💼 Create Anti-Gravity Skills Folder
Make a dedicated folder on your desktop called "anti-gravity skills." Save every reusable skill here, then import this folder into all future projects. This gives you instant access to design skills, audit skills, and any capability across all builds.
3) 🔌 Explore Extensions Marketplace
Click extensions on the left sidebar to discover tools like Claude Code. Think of it as Chrome extensions for Anti-Gravity. Browse and install apps that change visuals, code presentation, and visualization capabilities. Check regularly for new additions.
4) ⚙️ Use Global Rules Wisely
Click the three dots, then Customizations > Rules. This global document governs Anti-Gravity everywhere but increases token spend per message. Add coding style preferences, color schemes, or specific instructions relevant to your practice, not general skills.
5) 🔄 Leverage Workflows for Tasks
Workflows are different from skills; they're instructions summoned when needed. Create workflows for debugging or specific processes. Use a forward slash to call them up without constantly loading them into your context window, saving tokens.
6) 📝 Use @ to Target Files
In the chat window, type @ followed by a filename to specifically call out any file. Tell Anti-Gravity to modify, analyze, or create content in that exact file. This precision saves time and ensures changes go exactly where intended.
7) 💾 Commit to GitHub Regularly
Publish updates to GitHub frequently for version control. With 43+ commits, you can roll back the clock if something breaks. Always ask Anti-Gravity to confirm when changes are pushed live to GitHub for tracking.
8) 🎯 Use the Blast Framework
Implement the comprehensive project framework that includes initialization protocol, blueprint phase, links phase, architectural layer, stylization, and triggers. This methodical approach guides you through building anything step-by-step with clear deliverables and self-healing repair loops.
Performance Optimization
9) 🔄 Avoid Context Rot
When conversations get long (past halfway through the 1 million token window), performance degrades. Once a task is complete, click the plus button for a fresh window. Long conversations = worse performance.
10) 🪟 Use Multiple Chat Windows
Double-click the middle pane to open the Claude plugin for alternative conversations. Click Terminal > New Terminal > type "claude" for another option. Right-click to align windows left, right, up, or down for full configurability.
11) 🎛 Master Agent Manager
Open Agent Manager to chat with any project without opening 50 different windows. Jump between business files, client projects, or personal tasks like a sniper. Access all information across projects from one interface. Massive timesaver.
12) 🎮 Use Playground for Fresh Context
Click "use playground" for a blank canvas with a completely fresh context window. Perfect for research tasks or building something new without baggage from previous conversations. Bring files over as needed for maximum flexibility.
13) 🤖 Spin Up Sub-Agents
In the terminal, ask Anti-Gravity to leverage the sub-agent feature. Spin up five agents simultaneously to research different topics or complete parallel tasks. Claude manages them for you, each with a separate context window running in parallel.
14) 📋 One Task Per Message
Give one clear task per message: "Create a new section that does ABC." Don't combine multiple requests. This dramatically improves both speed and quality of outputs. Keep it focused and singular.
15) 🔁 Break Infinite Loops
If stuck in a loop where Anti-Gravity keeps circling, stop and ask: "Explain succinctly but in detail exactly how you're going to solve this. What will be different this time?" This breaks the pattern and resets thinking.
16) 🎨 Visual Intelligence with Logic Layers
Use AI logic layer tools to create visual flowcharts of your systems. Build decision trees for pizza delivery pricing, client acceptance criteria, or any complex logic. See the logic visually, test it, then integrate as a portable MCP.
17) 🔗 Connect Logic to Anti-Gravity
Copy the endpoint from your visual logic system, paste it into Anti-Gravity with the API key, and test the connection. Now your website or app can call this logic system, get answers, and deliver results, all without code sitting in project files.
18) 🛠 Add to MCP Config
When you build something useful, ask Anti-Gravity to add it to your MCP config. Click the three dots > MCP servers > manage MCP servers > view raw config. Link the file with @ to ensure it's added correctly.
19) 📚 Create Reusable Skills
Use the anti-gravity skills creator prompt. If you do something more than 2-3 times monthly (like posting to GitHub and Vercel), turn it into a skill. Paste the conversation and ask it to create a skill for future use.
Speed & Efficiency
20) ⚡️ Build in AI Studio First
AI Studio creates visually beautiful designs better than Anti-Gravity on first shot. It has more design tools out-of-the-box. Build to 80% completion, download the zip, then import to Anti-Gravity for refinement and scaling.
21) 📥 Import AI Studio Projects
After downloading from AI Studio, click File > Open Folder in Anti-Gravity and select your downloaded project. Everything transfers instantly. Ask Anti-Gravity to open in localhost to view and continue building.
22) 🎨 Clone Any Website Design
Use the HTML website extractor on any site you like. Download the HTML, upload it to AI Studio or Anti-Gravity, and ask it to build a version with your specifications. Never sell cloned designs, but use them for personal features or inspiration.
23) 🎯 UI Sniping from 21st.dev
Browse 21st.dev for beautiful UI components. When you find one you like, click the share component, copy the link and prompt, and paste them into Anti-Gravity. It will replicate the design and integrate into your project.
24) 💎 Grab Components from CodePen
CodePen has amazing projects and animations. Copy the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from any pen you like, paste it into Anti-Gravity, and ask it to integrate into your project. Instant professional animations and effects.
25) 🏗 Convert to Go High Level
Ask Anti-Gravity to convert your website into HTML and CSS. In Go High Level, create a new funnel, add a code element, and paste it in. Your beautiful Anti-Gravity website now runs in GHL for marketing automations.
26) ✅ Use Vyux Promax Skill
Add the Vyux Promax skill from GitHub. It has 50+ website checks. After building in AI Studio and importing to Anti-Gravity, run this skill. It optimizes SEO, accessibility, contrast, and countless other details automatically.
27) 📸 UI Audit with Screenshots
Take screenshots (Command+Shift+5 on Mac), paste directly into Anti-Gravity chat, and discuss changes. This is way easier than describing issues. Anti-Gravity can sometimes create annotatable versions for even more specific feedback.
Integrations & Deployment
28) 🔌 Check MCP Servers First
Click three dots > MCP servers to see one-click installs for popular services like Supabase. Generate a token, paste it back, and you're connected. Always check here before manual installation.
29) 🌐 Browse the MCP Market
Visit the MCP market website for a master list of all available MCPs organized by popularity. Find integrations for Figma, Chrome, Notion, and thousands more. Be vigilant about developer reputation to avoid prompt injections.
30) 📋 Manual MCP Installation
If not in the marketplace, find the MCP on GitHub, copy the example config from the README, paste it into Anti-Gravity, and say "add this to my MCP config, please" with your API token. Simple manual process.
31) 🔥 Apify for Web Scraping
Install Apify MCP to scrape any website. Essential for data collection, competitor research, and automation. One of the most-used MCPs for building powerful data-driven applications and workflows.
32) 📚 Context.7 for Latest APIs
Context.7 always checks the latest API documentation, so you're less likely to get stuck in loops with deprecated code. If Stripe changes their API tomorrow, Context.7 knows about it even if Anti-Gravity's training doesn't.
33) 🎤 AI Meeting Note Takers
Connect Fathom, Fireflies, or other meeting note takers via MCP. Automatically access meeting transcripts, action items, and summaries directly in Anti-Gravity for building automations or generating reports from conversations.
34) 📝 Notion Integration
Connect Notion MCP to read, write, and manage your workspace. Create pages, update databases, search notes, all from Anti-Gravity. Perfect for saving project documentation or pulling information into your builds.
35) 🧠 Pinecone for Long-Term Memory
Use Pinecone MCP for vector database storage, giving your Anti-Gravity projects long-term memory. Store embeddings, retrieve relevant information, and build AI systems that remember context across sessions.
36) 🎨 Stitch for Multiple Designs
Stitch MCP helps manage multiple design variations. Test different layouts, color schemes, or features simultaneously. Perfect for A/B testing or presenting options to clients before finalizing.
37) 💾 Supabase for Databases
Connect Supabase MCP for powerful database functionality. Store user data, manage authentication, and create real-time features. Essential for building scalable applications with backend requirements.
38) 🚀 Vercel for Instant Deployment
Install Vercel MCP from the Vercel account tokens page. Create a token, add to the MCP config, then ask Anti-Gravity to publish to GitHub and Vercel simultaneously. One-click deployment from conversation to live website.
39) ⚡️ Zapier Connects Everything
Zapier MCP is the "everlasting gobstopper." Connect it once, access 8,000+ apps. Add Gmail, Google Docs, Drive, or any tool. Select the actions you want, authorize, and Anti-Gravity can now control your entire workflow.
40) 🖥 Modal for Remote Servers
Use Modal for running code when your laptop is closed. Set up scrapers, automations, or scheduled tasks that run 24/7 on remote servers. Copy the quickstart guide, paste into Anti-Gravity, authorize, and deploy.
41) 🌐 HTTP Endpoints with Modal
Make Modal automations accessible via HTTP nodes. Sell workflows to clients through n8n or other platforms. They call your service without knowing it's your Anti-Gravity code running on Modal infrastructure.
Cost Reduction
42) 📉 Shorten Your Constitution File
Keep your claude.md or gemini.md under 700 lines. Every message sends this file, burning tokens fast. Use concise language, truncate unnecessary details, and keep it as short as possible while maintaining functionality.
43) 🔄 Summarize Before New Windows
When starting fresh conversations, don't copy everything. Ask: "Summarize this conversation succinctly. Problems and next steps. So a new agent could pick up where you left off. Be concise." Use that summary to start fresh.
44) 🧠 Match Model to Task
Don't use Einstein to cut grass. Use thinking models (Opus 4.6) for planning stages, then switch to GPT-4 or other models for simple tasks. Separate tasks by complexity in Agent Manager to save massive tokens.
45) ⚡️ Use Fast Mode
After the first message, switch from planning to fast mode. Planning for every message is overkill and burns tokens unnecessarily. Fast mode handles most tasks perfectly without the computational overhead.
46) 🔌 Limit Active MCPs
Keep active MCPs under 50. Each one adds to your context window with every message. Deactivate MCPs you're not using. In MCP servers, toggle off unnecessary tools to dramatically reduce token consumption per message.
47) 🔧 Use Lazy Loaders
Implement lazy loading for MCPs to reduce context window size. This loads MCP tools only when needed rather than constantly, saving tokens while maintaining full functionality when you actually call those tools.
48) 🆓 OpenCode for Free Models
Install OpenCode to access hundreds of premium models for free. Use your ChatGPT Plus subscription to code with ChatGPT. An alternative to burning through Anti-Gravity credits on simpler tasks.
49) 💚 Leverage Gemini 3 Pro
Anti-Gravity is generous with Gemini 3 Pro since it's Google's own model. You'll run out of Claude Opus faster. Use Gemini for tasks that don't specifically need Claude's capabilities to extend your usage.
50) 🔄 Rotate Google Accounts
If on a free tier or limited plan, some users rotate through 5 different Google accounts to get fresh Claude access. Switch accounts when you hit limits. Consider if your time value justifies this versus a paid subscription.
That's 100+ hours compressed into one email.
