## Platform Adaptation
Skills use Claude Code tool names. Non-CC platforms: see `references/copilot-tools.md` (Copilot CLI), `references/codex-tools.md` (Codex) for tool equivalents. Gemini CLI users get the tool mapping loaded automatically via GEMINI.md.
Skills speak in actions ("dispatch a subagent", "create a todo", "read a file") rather than naming any one runtime's tools.

# Antigravity CLI (`agy`) Tool Mapping
Skills speak in actions ("dispatch a subagent", "create a todo", "read a file"). On the Antigravity CLI (`agy`) these resolve to the tools below.
| Action skills request | Antigravity CLI equivalent |
|----------------------|----------------------|
| Read a file | `view_file` |
| Create a new file | `write_to_file` |
| Edit a file | `replace_file_content` |
| Edit a file in several places at once | `multi_replace_file_content` |
| Run a shell command | `run_command` |
| Search file contents | `grep_search` |
| Find files by name / list a directory | `list_dir` (no dedicated glob tool — combine `list_dir` with `grep_search`) |
| Fetch a URL | `read_url_content` |
| Search the web | `search_web` |
| Pose a structured question to your human partner | `ask_question` |
| Dispatch a subagent (`Subagent (general-purpose):` template) | `invoke_subagent` with a built-in `TypeName``self` for full-capability work, `research` for read-only (see [Subagent support](#subagent-support)) |
| Multiple parallel dispatches | Multiple entries in one `invoke_subagent` call's `Subagents` array |
| Task tracking ("create a todo", "mark complete") | a **task artifact**`write_to_file` with `IsArtifact: true` and `ArtifactType: "task"` (see [Task tracking](#task-tracking)). **Not** `manage_task`, which manages background processes. |
## Invoking a skill — read its `SKILL.md`
Antigravity surfaces every installed skill's `name` + `description` to you at the
start of each session, but it has **no `Skill`/`activate_skill` tool**. To load a
skill, **read its `SKILL.md` with `view_file`, setting `IsSkillFile: true`** when
the skill applies — e.g. `view_file` on
`.../plugins/superpowers/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` with `IsSkillFile: true`.
(`IsSkillFile` is agy's own signal that you're reading a file to *execute its
instructions*, not to edit or preview it — set it whenever you load a skill.)
This is the blessed skill-loading mechanism on this harness. The general rule
"never read skill files manually" means "don't bypass your platform's
skill-loading mechanism" — and on Antigravity, reading `SKILL.md` *is* that
mechanism. Reading it honors the rule rather than breaking it.
You already know which skills exist and what they're for: their names and
descriptions are in front of you at session start. When a description matches
what you're about to do, read that skill's `SKILL.md` before acting.
## Subagent support
Antigravity dispatches subagents with `invoke_subagent`, passing each one a
`TypeName` in the `Subagents` array. Two `TypeName`s are **built in** — use them
directly, no `define_subagent` needed:
- **`self`** — a full clone of you, with every tool you have (including
`write_to_file`/`replace_file_content`/`run_command`). The safe default for
general-purpose work: implementing, fixing, anything that edits files or runs
commands.
- **`research`** — read-only (file reading, `grep_search`, web/URL fetch; no write
or command access). Use it when you specifically want a subagent that can't make
changes — investigation and read-only review.
Call `define_subagent` only for a custom system prompt or capability mix: set
`enable_write_tools: true` to grant file edits **and** `run_command`,
`enable_subagent_tools` for nested dispatch, `enable_mcp_tools` for MCP. Then
invoke it by the name you gave it. (`manage_subagents` lists/kills running
subagents.)
Skills dispatch with `Subagent (general-purpose):` and either reference a
prompt-template file (e.g. `superpowers:subagent-driven-development`'s
`./implementer-prompt.md`) or supply an inline prompt. On Antigravity:
| Skill dispatch form | Antigravity equivalent |
|---------------------|----------------------|
| An implementer-style `*-prompt.md` template (writes code, runs tests) | Fill the template, then `invoke_subagent` with `TypeName: "self"` and the filled prompt |
| A read-only reviewer template (`task-reviewer`, `code-reviewer`, `requesting-code-review`'s `./code-reviewer.md`) | `invoke_subagent` with `TypeName: "research"` and the filled review template |
| Inline prompt (no template referenced) | `invoke_subagent` with `TypeName: "self"` (or `"research"` if the task only reads) and your inline prompt |
### Prompt filling
Skills provide prompt templates with placeholders like `{WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED}` or
`[FULL TEXT of task]`. Fill all placeholders before passing the complete prompt to
`invoke_subagent`. The prompt template itself contains the agent's role, review
criteria, and expected output format — the subagent will follow it.
### Parallel dispatch
Put multiple entries in a single `invoke_subagent` call's `Subagents` array to run
independent subagent work in parallel. Keep dependent tasks sequential, but do not
serialize independent subagent tasks just to preserve a simpler history.
## Task tracking
Antigravity has **no todo / `TodoWrite` tool** (`manage_task` manages background
processes — `list`/`kill`/`status`/`send_input` — it is *not* a checklist). When a
skill says to create a todo list or track tasks, maintain a **task artifact**: a
markdown checklist saved with `write_to_file` (`IsArtifact: true`,
`ArtifactMetadata.ArtifactType: "task"`), edited with `replace_file_content` /
`multi_replace_file_content` as you go.
At the start of any multi-step task, create the task artifact listing every step of
your plan. As you complete each step, edit the artifact to mark it done (`- [x]`).
If the plan changes, update the checklist. Keep it current — it is your source of
truth for what remains; once the conversation gets long, re-read it before starting
each step.

# Claude Code Tool Mapping
Skills speak in actions ("dispatch a subagent", "create a todo", "read a file"). On Claude Code these resolve to the tools below.
## Tools
| Action skills request | Claude Code tool |
|----------------------|------------------|
| Read a file | `Read` |
| Create a new file | `Write` |
| Edit a file | `Edit` |
| Run a shell command | `Bash` |
| Search file contents | `Grep` |
| Find files by name | `Glob` |
| Fetch a URL | `WebFetch` |
| Search the web | `WebSearch` |
| Invoke a skill | `Skill` |
| Dispatch a subagent (`Subagent (general-purpose):` template) | `Agent` (older releases named this `Task`) |
| Multiple parallel dispatches | Multiple `Agent` calls in one response |
| Task tracking ("create a todo", "mark complete") | `TaskCreate`, `TaskUpdate`, `TaskList`, `TaskGet`; `TodoWrite` in `claude -p` / Agent SDK unless `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TASKS=1` is set |
| Background-process / subagent lifecycle (read output, cancel) | `TaskOutput`, `TaskStop` — these are distinct from the todo tools above and apply to running shells, agents, and remote sessions |
## Instructions file
When a skill mentions "your instructions file", on Claude Code this is **`CLAUDE.md`**. Claude Code walks up the directory tree from the current working directory and concatenates every `CLAUDE.md` and `CLAUDE.local.md` it finds along the way. Standard locations:
| Scope | Location |
|-------|----------|
| Project (team-shared) | `./CLAUDE.md` or `./.claude/CLAUDE.md` |
| User global | `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` |
| Local-private (gitignored) | `./CLAUDE.local.md` |
| Managed policy (org-wide) | `/Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/CLAUDE.md` (macOS), `/etc/claude-code/CLAUDE.md` (Linux/WSL), `C:\Program Files\ClaudeCode\CLAUDE.md` (Windows) |
CLAUDE.md files can pull in additional content with `@path/to/file` imports (relative or absolute, max five hops deep). Subdirectory `CLAUDE.md` files are also discovered automatically and loaded on-demand when Claude Code reads files in those subdirectories.
Claude Code does **not** read `AGENTS.md` directly. If a project already maintains `AGENTS.md` for other agents, import it from `CLAUDE.md` so both runtimes share the same instructions:
```markdown
@AGENTS.md
## Claude Code
(Claude-Code-specific instructions go here.)
```
For path-scoped rules and larger-project organization, see `.claude/rules/` (rules can be scoped to specific files via `paths` frontmatter and load on demand).
## Personal skills directory
User-level skills live at **`~/.claude/skills/`**. Each skill is a subdirectory containing a `SKILL.md` (with `name` and `description` frontmatter) plus any supporting files. Claude Code does not currently recognize the cross-runtime `~/.agents/skills/` path that Codex, Copilot CLI, and Gemini CLI read; if you're relying on cross-runtime support in the future, verify against the [official skills docs](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills).

## Instructions file
When a skill mentions "your instructions file", on Codex this is **`AGENTS.md`** at the project root. Codex also reads `~/.codex/AGENTS.md` for global context, and an `AGENTS.override.md` (in the project tree or `~/.codex/`) takes precedence when present. Codex walks from the project root down to the current working directory, concatenating `AGENTS.md` files it finds along the way, up to `project_doc_max_bytes` (32 KiB by default).
## Personal skills directory
User-level skills live at **`$CODEX_HOME/skills/`** (default `~/.codex/skills/`). Codex also reads the cross-runtime path **`~/.agents/skills/`** (shared with Copilot CLI and Gemini CLI). When both directories exist at the same scope, Codex loads them both as separate skill catalogs — Codex's docs don't currently document a precedence between them.

| Task tracking ("create a todo", "mark complete") | `write_todos` (statuses: pending, in_progress, completed, cancelled, blocked) |
## Instructions file
When a skill mentions "your instructions file", on Gemini CLI this is **`GEMINI.md`**. Gemini CLI loads `GEMINI.md` hierarchically: global at `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md`, project-level files in workspace directories and their ancestors, and sub-directory `GEMINI.md` files when a tool accesses files in those directories.
## Personal skills directory
User-level skills live at **`~/.gemini/skills/`**, with **`~/.agents/skills/`** as a cross-runtime alias (shared with Codex and Copilot CLI). When both directories exist at the same scope, `.agents/skills/` takes precedence. Each skill is a subdirectory containing a `SKILL.md` (with `name` and `description` frontmatter).
## Subagent support
Gemini CLI supports subagents natively via the `@` syntax. Use the built-in `@generalist` agent to dispatch any task — it has access to all tools and follows the prompt you provide.
Gemini CLI dispatches subagents through the `invoke_agent` tool, which takes `agent_name` and `prompt` parameters. The same dispatch is also surfaced as a chat-syntax shortcut: typing `@generalist <prompt>` is equivalent to calling `invoke_agent` with `agent_name: "generalist"`. Built-in agent names include `generalist`, `cli_help`, `codebase_investigator`, and (with browser tooling enabled) `browser_agent`.
When a skill says to dispatch a named agent type, use `@generalist` with the full prompt from the skill's prompt template:
Skills dispatch with `Subagent (general-purpose):` and either reference a prompt-template file (e.g., `superpowers:subagent-driven-development`'s `./implementer-prompt.md`) or supply an inline prompt. On Gemini CLI:
| Skill instruction | Gemini CLI equivalent |
|-------------------|----------------------|
| `Task tool (superpowers:implementer)` | `@generalist` with the filled `implementer-prompt.md` template |
| `Task tool (superpowers:spec-reviewer)` | `@generalist` with the filled `spec-reviewer-prompt.md` template |
| `Task tool (superpowers:code-reviewer)` | `@code-reviewer` (bundled agent) or `@generalist` with the filled review prompt |
| `Task tool (superpowers:code-quality-reviewer)` | `@generalist` with the filled `code-quality-reviewer-prompt.md` template |
| `Task tool (general-purpose)` with inline prompt | `@generalist` with your inline prompt |
| Skill dispatch form | Gemini CLI equivalent |
|---------------------|----------------------|
| References a `*-prompt.md` template (implementer, task-reviewer, code-reviewer, etc.) | Fill the template, then `invoke_agent` with `agent_name: "generalist"` and the filled prompt |
| References `superpowers:requesting-code-review`'s `./code-reviewer.md` | `invoke_agent` with `agent_name: "generalist"` and the filled review template |
| Inline prompt (no template referenced) | `invoke_agent` with `agent_name: "generalist"` and your inline prompt |
### Prompt filling
Skills provide prompt templates with placeholders like `{WHAT_WAS_IMPLEMENTED}` or `[FULL TEXT of task]`. Fill all placeholders and pass the complete prompt as the message to `@generalist`. The prompt template itself contains the agent's role, review criteria, and expected output format — `@generalist` will follow it.

### Parallel dispatch
Gemini CLI supports parallel subagent dispatch. When a skill asks you to dispatch multiple independent subagent tasks in parallel, request all of those `@generalist` or named subagent tasks together in the same prompt. Keep dependent tasks sequential, but do not serialize independent subagent tasks just to preserve a simpler history.

## Skills
Pi discovers skills from configured skill directories and installed Pi packages. A Superpowers Pi package should expose `skills/` through its `pi.skills` manifest entry. Pi does not expose Claude Code's `Skill` tool, but the agent should still follow the Superpowers rule: when a skill applies, load and follow it before responding.
## Subagents
Pi core does not ship a standard subagent tool. The `pi-subagents` package is a strong optional companion and provides a `subagent` tool with single-agent, chain, parallel, async, forked-context, and resume/status workflows. If no subagent tool is available, do not fabricate `Task` calls; execute sequentially in the current session or explain that the optional subagent capability is not installed.
## Task lists
Pi core does not ship a standard task-list tool. If a todo/task extension is installed, use its documented tool. Otherwise use Superpowers plan files, checklists in Markdown, or a repo-local `TODO.md` for task tracking. Older Superpowers docs may refer to `TodoWrite`; treat that as the task-tracking action above.
