Use both with a single skill catalog
You don't have to pick. BuySkills lets you install a skill once and use it across Antigravity, Droid, and every other supported AI coding agent — without repurchasing or reconfiguring.
- One command to install in either agent:
npx buyskills install <skill> - Skills pinned to a version you choose — Antigravity or Droid updates won't break your loop
- Explore plugins by category: testing, refactoring, documentation, git workflows, and more
Antigravity vs Droid — FAQ
Should I pick Antigravity or Droid?
It depends on where you work. Antigravity is agent-based development environment, while Droid is factory's ai software engineering agent. 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 Droid?
Yes. BuySkills is designed for cross-agent portability. Install a skill once with the BuySkills CLI and it becomes available in both Antigravity and Droid — and every other supported agent — without a second purchase or install.
How is installing BuySkills skills different between Antigravity and Droid?
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 Droid 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.
Do Droid's safety rails apply to BuySkills skills?
Yes. When Droid invokes a BuySkills skill, it runs through the same review, audit, and permission layers that Droid applies to any other tool call. Nothing bypasses Droid's safety guardrails.
Still deciding?
Install BuySkills CLI once and the skills you discover today work in whichever agent you pick tomorrow.
