Install Systematic Debugging in Google Antigravity

Antigravity loads skills from .agents/skills/ in your project or ~/.gemini/config/skills/ for all projects (official docs). Full guide

EasiestOption 1: paste this to your Antigravity agent
Install the "Systematic Debugging" skill for Google Antigravity.
Follow the steps at https://www.antigravityskills.org/install/systematic-debugging.md (source: https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills/tree/main/skills/systematic-debugging).
Before running anything, show me what you will download and whether it includes scripts, and wait for my OK.
Install it into this project (.agents/skills/) unless I say global. When done, check that Antigravity lists it as an installed skill.

The agent reads the install file, shows you what it will download and waits for your OK.

Option 2: install it yourself
  1. 1. Download the skill folder
    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills.git /tmp/ag-skills

    The skill lives in skills/systematic-debugging/ of the source repository.

  2. 2. Copy it into this project (workspace skill)
    mkdir -p .agents/skills && cp -r /tmp/ag-skills/skills/systematic-debugging .agents/skills/

    Run from your project root. Antigravity loads workspace skills from .agents/skills/.

  3. 3. Or install it for all projects (global skill)
    mkdir -p ~/.gemini/config/skills && cp -r /tmp/ag-skills/skills/systematic-debugging ~/.gemini/config/skills/

    Global skills live in ~/.gemini/config/skills/. For the Antigravity CLI use ~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/skills/ instead.

  4. 4. Check that Antigravity sees it

    Antigravity 2.0 app: start a new conversation and ask "What skills do you have?" (the app has no /skills command; typing / and the skill name also finds it). Antigravity CLI: run /skills; in a session that was already open, run /skills reload first. The agent loads the skill when your request matches its description.

Using Claude Code, Cursor or Codex? See other assistants below.

What is Systematic Debugging?

A methodology-driven skill that guides AI agents through a rigorous process of hypothesis testing, observation, and isolation to fix complex software bugs.

How to use Systematic Debugging?

Ask the AI to "Debug this issue systematically" and let it follow the hypothesis-driven workflow.

Key features of Systematic Debugging

  • ✓Root cause analysis
  • ✓Hypothesis testing
  • ✓Regression testing integration
  • ✓Isolation techniques

When to use Systematic Debugging

  1. 1Fixing intermittent production bugs
  2. 2Debugging race conditions
  3. 3Solving cryptic error messages

Security Review Status

Not yet reviewed (manual audit pending)

This skill is cataloged from open community sources and has not yet undergone full manual line-by-line security verification by our team.

Recommended Verification Steps Prior to Execution:
  • Inspect the source repository files before adding to your local AI tool config.
  • Avoid passing production API credentials or sensitive filesystem permissions unless explicitly required.
  • Run initial commands inside a sandboxed terminal or container environment.

Operational Notes & Known Limitations

Known Limitations

  • •Temporary mitigation and root-cause repair are different outcomes; record both when an incident requires immediate containment.
  • •Logging can expose secrets or personal paths. Use allowlisted summaries and inspect captured artifacts before sharing.
  • •The polluter helper runs the project’s test command and can execute project code; use an isolated fixture/checkout and verify the runner accepts a file argument.
  • •The waiting examples require domain adapters and cannot make every race impossible. Reproduce the actual timeout/error path.
