Google is migrating Gemini CLI to Antigravity CLI, and Skills keep working the same way for task‑specific terminal agents.
A hands-on guide shows how Gemini CLI “Skills” load on demand to avoid context bloat and encode repeatable workflows in SKILL.md files, and it notes Google’s plan to shift Gemini CLI users to Antigravity CLI on June 18 with Skills intact Gemini CLI Skills.
For teams evaluating terminal/IDE agents, open source is also moving fast: the oh‑my‑pi terminal agent ships an optimized tool harness and LSP integration for multi-provider coding workflows oh‑my‑pi. If you’ve been “vibe coding,” this process guide frames a cleaner split between design and build so agents don’t drift mid-project Architect‑Builder Method.
The CLI shift preserves Skills, so you can standardize repeatable ops without refactoring agent prompts.
On-demand Skills reduce context noise and make terminal agents more reliable for CI/CD and data workflows.
-
terminal
Create a SKILL.md for a real task (e.g., db migration or Airflow DAG patch) and measure error rate vs a monolithic GEMINI.md.
-
terminal
Compare latency/token use with Skills (progressive disclosure) vs always-on context; track success of multi-step edits.
Legacy codebase integration strategies...
- 01.
Audit current GEMINI.md usage and extract high-churn steps into discrete Skills; version them with code reviews.
- 02.
Pilot the Antigravity CLI switch on a small squad; verify auth, local tool invocations, and shell/script permissions behave identically.
Fresh architecture paradigms...
- 01.
Start new repos with a .gemini/skills catalog for common ops (schema changes, backfills, runbooks) and templates in resources/.
- 02.
Define acceptance tests per Skill so agent-generated edits must pass CI before merge.
