• Where does Antigravity look for Agent Skills?
• Where does Antigravity look for MCP Servers?
• Where does Antigravity look for Rules and Workflows?
• Where does Antigravity look for Hooks?

In today’s post, I’ll talk about Hooks in Antigravity, what they are, how to configure them, and some shortcomings.

Hooks

Hooks allow you to run custom scripts or programs at specific points in the Antigravity agent lifecycle, such as before or after model or tool calls. They are a way to extend the functionality of the agent. Hooks run synchronously as part of the agent loop and they can be useful for things like adding context, validating actions, enforce policies or logging interactions.

I’ve been exploring different ways of customizing Antigravity and where it saves its various configuration files. For Agent Skills, see Where does Antigravity look for Agent Skills? and for MCP Servers, see Where does Antigravity look for MCP Servers?.

In my previous post, I explored where Antigravity (AGY) looks for agent skills. In this post, I’ll briefly explore the same for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and mention the MCP server caching that’s worth knowing about.

Skills are an open standard for extending agent capabilities. A skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file with instructions that the agent can follow when working on specific tasks.
