Google Antigravity introduces Boost deep reasoning (/boost)
The /boost slash command activates an on-demand multi-agent reasoning
pipeline designed for challenging software engineering tasks. When standard
single-turn coding assistance falls short on complex bugs, race conditions, or
intricate refactoring, /boost breaks down the problem, delegates focused
workstreams to specialized subagents, and independently verifies solutions
across iterative rounds.
Plan availability: The /boost command is available on paid plans across
Google Antigravity 2.0 and the Antigravity CLI.
Modern software development involves problems spanning a wide spectrum of
complexity:
/boost addresses the crucial middle ground: interactive, high-intensity
developer productivity. It delivers multi-agent deep reasoning directly
within your day-to-day coding sessions without requiring complex setup or
prolonged scoping interviews.
When you invoke /boost, Antigravity initiates a three-phase multi-agent
reasoning pipeline that decouples strategy formulation from isolated execution
and verification:
The Primary Orchestrator receives your prompt, inspects workspace context, and
formulates an execution strategy. It breaks down complex engineering challenges
into discrete, verifiable subtasks and determines which specialized workstreams
are required.
The Orchestrator dispatches focused subtasks to specialized subagents operating
in clean, isolated scopes:
Before presenting the final outcome, the reasoning pipeline aggregates findings
and runs regression checks:
The following table compares the three primary execution modes in Antigravity:
You can invoke Boost across all Antigravity surfaces.
