Google Antigravity Research Plugin: 8 Skills Explained

How I Built an 8-Skill Research Engineering Plugin, Stdio MCP Server & Vector Comic Studio for Google Antigravity

Reading, auditing, and explaining dense machine learning or engineering papers shouldn't stop at a wall of plain-text chat bullets—or brittle LaTeX scripts that break on half of developer workstations. Over the past week, I architected and open-sourced My-antigravity-research-skills (agy-research-kit), a full-stack Google Antigravity Plugin designed specifically for rigorous scientific paper auditing, interactive simulation, and visual storytelling. 🔗 GitHub Repository: https://github.com/RobinaMirbahar/My-antigravity-research-skills 🎮 Live HTML5 Interactive Paper Simulator: https://robinamirbahar.github.io/My-antigravity-research-skills/ Why Native Google Antigravity Primitives Change Research Workflows Google Antigravity gives developers five composable customization layers that fit together cleanly: Progressive-Disclosure Skills (SKILL.md): Each skill sits idle at ~50 tokens (YAML frontmatter only) until the agent actually needs it—preventing context bloat across 8+ specialized workflows. Stdio MCP Servers (mcp_config.json): Zero-hallucination deterministic tools for statistical hypothesis tests and live Crossref DOI lookups. Lifecycle Safety Hooks (hooks.json): Pre/post tool-call guards that stop common Python research bugs before they happen. Always-On Rules (rules/AGENTS.md): Strict provenance rules ensuring zero invented metrics and mandatory visual montage QA. Interactive HTML5 Studios: Self-contained 60-FPS Canvas/SVG parameter explorers that let readers drag sliders over a paper's equations in real time. Inside the 8 agy- Research Skills Every script in agy-research-kit uses PEP 723 inline # /// script metadata executed via uv run, plus headless Chromium/Edge and pymupdf + imageio[ffmpeg]—meaning zero system TeX or global FFmpeg installation headaches across Windows, macOS, and Linux: Skill What It Builds Output Artifact agy-interactive-paper-studio Turns closed-form paper equations into a zero-backend 60-FPS HTML5/Canvas simulator Standalone index.html agy-ablation-stat-auditor Recomputes exact Wilson 95% score CIs, Fisher's Exact, McNemar paired p-values, & leaderboard noise floors Audit Markdown/LaTeX + JSON agy-citation-doi-verifier Verifies bibliographies against live Crossref & OpenAlex REST APIs and upgrades preprints to published venues Traffic-Light DOI Audit agy-figure-forensics Adds numbered vector callouts, regime shading, and Engineering Takeaway cards onto 300-DPI paper plots A4 Visual Anatomy PDF agy-math-sandbox Color-codes equations into operator blocks and runs deterministic NumPy/SciPy Monte Carlo verification A4 Math Verification PDF agy-trajectory-cinematics Renders 1920x1080 H.264 .mp4 animations pairing a live system state monitor with 2x2 real-time telemetry curves 1080p .mp4 + Narration .md agy-graphic-story Renders pure-code A4 Vector SVG Technical Graphic Novels with custom characters, blackboards, and verbatim scoreboards A4 Vector Comic PDF agy-frontier-gap-radar Orchestrates OpenAlex + arXiv retrieval into an N x 7 capability heatmap and novelty-checked research blueprints A4 Frontier Gap Radar PDF Live Sample Showcase: Dissecting Quantized Agent Context Collapse (Gemma 4 LoopBreaker) To test all 8 skills end-to-end on a real systems research problem, the repository includes a complete showcase in examples/gemma4-loop-breaker/ analyzing how 4-bit weight quantization (W4A16) interacts with growing multi-turn agent KV caches (1 - 1 / (1 + C * e^{-delta})). 1.
