A TUI for letting an AI agent edit your codebase

What it does

Antigravity CLI is a terminal user interface for the Antigravity agent. It reads your codebase, reasons across multiple files, calls tools, and edits code—but only after you give permission. The tool is built for speed and minimal overhead, targeting remote SSH sessions where running a rich GUI would be impractical.

The interesting bit

Unlike many AI coding tools that assume you’re sitting at a local desktop, this one explicitly optimizes for keyboard-driven workflows and detects SSH sessions to handle authentication via printed URLs rather than browser pop-ups. It also shares a core agent engine and settings sync with the full Antigravity 2.0 GUI, so you can start in a terminal and export the session to the graphical app later.

Key highlights

• Shares the same core agent engine as Antigravity 2.0, so improvements apply to both interfaces.
• Bidirectional sync of preferences and permissions between CLI and GUI.
• Exports terminal sessions to the Antigravity 2.0 GUI for continued visual orchestration.
• Authenticates via system keyring with a fallback to Google Sign-In; detects remote SSH sessions to avoid browser assumptions.
• Collects interaction data by default to “help improve the product,” with an opt-out available in settings.

Caveats

• The README prominently warns that AI agents carry security risks—autonomous execution, data exfiltration, prompt injection—and urges you to verify every action.
• Interaction data is sent to Google by default under its standard Terms of Service and Privacy Policy; opting out requires changing settings.
• Enterprise access requires linking a GCP project, but the README only points to an external Enterprise page for details.

Verdict

Developers who live in SSH sessions and want an AI assistant that reasons across files without leaving the terminal should look here; if you need heavy visual orchestration or project management, the full Antigravity 2.0 GUI is the intended destination.
