antigravity 0.2.0

A native Dart client SDK for Google Antigravity, fully decoupled from the Flutter framework for server, CLI, and mobile compatibility.

Antigravity SDK for Dart 🌌

Important

Disclaimer: This is a community-maintained, unofficial Dart & Flutter port of the Google Antigravity SDK. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Google or the official Antigravity team.

A pure Dart & Flutter port of the Google Antigravity SDK.

The Google Antigravity SDK provides a secure, scalable, and stateful infrastructure layer that abstracts the agentic loop, letting you build advanced AI agents powered by Antigravity and Gemini. Focus on what your agent does rather than how it runs, handles tools, or manages state.

---

⚡ Quickstart

Get started by running the hello_world.dart example:

# 1. Set your Gemini API Key
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

# 2. Run the hello world example
dart run example/getting_started/hello_world.dart

Note

Zero Configuration: You do not need to manually install the Python SDK or download the orchestration harness binary. On the first run, the SDK will automatically detect your platform (OS and CPU architecture), download the official precompiled localharness binary from PyPI, extract it, and cache it locally in ~/.antigravity/bin/.

---

🏗️ Architecture

The SDK is organized into a clean, decoupled three-layer architecture:

Layer	Purpose	Key Classes / Files
Layer 1 — Simplified	High-level, batteries-included async agent session	Agent
Layer 2 — Session & Runs	Stateful session management, history accumulation, tool/trigger runners	Conversation, ChatResponse, Step, ToolCall, HookRunner, TriggerRunner
Layer 3 — Adapter & Transport	Low-level binary communication and transport serialization	Connection, LocalConnection, LocalAgentConfig, BinaryDiscovery

---

🧩 Key Concepts & Usage

1. Simple Agent Lifecycle

The Agent class handles binary discovery, stateful connection setup, tool dispatch, hooks, and policy enforcement behind a simple async lifecycle.

import 'package:antigravity/antigravity.dart';

void main() async {
  final config = LocalAgentConfig(
    systemInstructions: "You are an expert software developer assisting with code reviews.",
  );

  final agent = Agent(config);
  await agent.start();

  try {
    final response = await agent.chat("What files are in the current workspace?");
    print("Agent reply: ${await response.text()}");
  } finally {
    await agent.stop();
  }
}

2. Streaming Thoughts & Text Tokens

Stream thoughts (internal model reasoning) or chat text tokens reactively in real time:

final response = await agent.chat("Write a short poem about gravity.");

// Stream text tokens as they arrive from the model
await for (final token in response.textStream) {
  stdout.write(token);
}

// Or stream reasoning thoughts (internal model thinking process)
await for (final thought in response.thoughtStream) {
  print("Thinking bubble delta: $thought");
}

3. Declarative Safety Policies

Protect your local filesystem and commands with priority-bucketed declarative safety policies:

final policies = [
  deny("*"), // Deny all tools by default
  allow("view_file"), // Safely permit reading files
  askUser("run_command", handler: myInteractiveCmdHandler), // Ask user on CLI before running commands
];

final config = LocalAgentConfig(
  capabilities: CapabilitiesConfig(), // Enable tool execution capabilities
  policies: policies,
);

4. Stateful & Stateless Custom Tools

Directly register custom tools that your agent can invoke dynamically:

final getSystemWeather = Tool(
  name: 'get_system_weather',
  description: 'Gets the current weather for a city.',
  schema: {
    'type': 'object',
    'properties': {
      'city': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'The city name.'},
    },
    'required': ['city'],
  },
  handler: (args, _) async {
    final city = args['city'] as String;
    return "It is currently sunny and 22°C in $city.";
  },
);

final config = LocalAgentConfig(
  tools: [getSystemWeather],
);

5. Automated Background Triggers

Execute continuous background tasks that react to external changes or cron schedules, and safely inject messages back into the agentic loop:

import 'dart:async';

Future<void> runDeploymentMonitor(TriggerContext ctx) async {
  // Check external systems and inject messages to the agent
  await ctx.send("Check if deployment finished successfully.");
}

final config = LocalAgentConfig(
  triggers: [
    every(Duration(minutes: 5), runDeploymentMonitor),
  ],
);

🏷️ Versioning Strategy

This SDK follows an independent versioning scheme to align with Dart ecosystem best practices:

• Patch Version Bumps (0.1.x → 0.1.y): Staged for Dart-specific updates, dependency upgrades, formatting adjustments, or internal bug fixes. These changes are backward-compatible and unique to the Dart SDK implementation.
• Minor Version Bumps (0.1.x → 0.2.0): Staged for synchronization updates with the upstream Google Antigravity Python SDK. This brings in new features, new protocol layers, or updated backend harness integrations.
• Major Version Bumps (0.x.y → 1.0.0): Staged for public API breaking changes.
