Antigravity vs Cursor — FAQ
Should I pick Antigravity or Cursor?
It depends on where you work. Antigravity is agent-based development environment, while Cursor is ai-first vs code fork with agent mode. Many developers use both and share skills across them via BuySkills — so the choice is less binary than it used to be.
Can I use the same plugins in Antigravity and Cursor?
Yes. BuySkills is designed for cross-agent portability. Install a skill once with the BuySkills CLI and it becomes available in both Antigravity and Cursor — and every other supported agent — without a second purchase or install.
How is installing BuySkills skills different between Antigravity and Cursor?
It isn't, from your side. You run `npx buyskills install <skill>`, and the CLI writes the skill to the directory each agent reads from. Antigravity and Cursor pick up the skill without any extra config.
How do I add skills to Antigravity?
Install BuySkills CLI and run `npx buyskills install <skill>`. The CLI detects Antigravity and writes skills into the directory its agent reads at startup. Restart the agent loop (not the whole app) to pick up new skills.
How do BuySkills skills differ from Cursor .cursorrules?
`.cursorrules` files configure Cursor's behavior per project, while BuySkills packages reusable capabilities — prompts, tools, and scripts — that Cursor's agent can invoke on demand. The two are complementary: rules shape style, skills extend capability.
Still deciding?
Install BuySkills CLI once and the skills you discover today work in whichever agent you pick tomorrow.
