1500+ skills taking a lot of my context

What would you like to discuss?

Skill library installed globally, so every agent session auto-loads all of it into context.

Any workaround for this?

Yes. This usually means the full library was installed into a global directory that Antigravity eagerly scans, so the workaround is to keep the full catalog somewhere archived but expose only a small active set in ~/.agents/skills.

Fastest path on macOS/Linux:

# from a local clone of this repo
./scripts/activate-skills.sh --clear Essentials

# or activate a role bundle
./scripts/activate-skills.sh --clear "Web Wizard"

# or activate only specific skill ids
./scripts/activate-skills.sh --clear brainstorming systematic-debugging

That script preserves the full library in ~/.agents/skills_library, archives the current live skills directory, and then materializes only the selected bundle/skills into ~/.agents/skills.

If you prefer a smaller install up front, use installer filters instead of the default full install, for example:

npx antigravity-awesome-skills --antigravity --category development,backend --risk safe,none

A couple of practical notes:

• Fully close/restart Antigravity after changing the active skills directory.
• If you already have a full global install, the activation script is the safer recovery path because it clears/archives the live directory first.
• The detailed guide is here: docs/users/agent-overload-recovery.md.

Longer term, this is useful feedback: the full library is good for discovery, but hosts that eagerly load every global skill need a smaller active set by default.
