# Antigravity IPA Workflow - Project Overview & PDR

**Status:** Complete
**Version:** 1.0.0
**Last Updated:** 2026-02-16

## Executive Summary

Antigravity IPA Workflow is a production-ready conversion of the IPA-for-CK (Intelligent Project Automation for ClaudeKit) system into a standalone Antigravity IDE skill collection. The project delivers 24 lean, focused skills that enable stage-gated documentation workflows for AI-assisted software development, fully independent from ClaudeKit dependencies.

## Project Context

### Problem Solved
Previously, IPA functionality required ClaudeKit as a dependency. This created coupling and complexity. Antigravity IPA Workflow decouples the system, providing:
- Standalone deployment to any Antigravity IDE environment
- Lean, modular skill design (24 skills vs. previous monolithic approach)
- Clean separation from CK tool references
- Semantic triggering instead of slash commands
- Hard-gate validation for stage enforcement

### Conversion Scope
- **Source:** IPA-for-CK (~25 IPA/lean skills with CK dependencies)
- **Target:** Antigravity IPA Workflow (24 standalone skills)
- **Technology:** Antigravity IDE skill format (JSON frontmatter + markdown)
- **Validation:** 100% frontmatter compliance, zero CK references

## Functional Requirements

### FR1: Stage-Gated Documentation Pipeline
- Users invoke skills via semantic text triggers (no slash commands)
- Pipeline enforces prerequisite stages via hard-gate blocks
- Four core stages: Spec → Design → Detail → Validate
- Output documents automatically generated with proper templates

**Acceptance Criteria:**
- `ipa-spec` generates SRD.md + UI_SPEC.md
- `ipa-design` requires SRD.md to exist; generates HTML mockups
- `ipa-detail` requires UI_SPEC.md; generates API_SPEC.md + DB_DESIGN.md
- `ipa-validate` requires both specs; generates traceability matrix
- `ipa-all` / `ipa-fast` run full pipeline in sequence

### FR2: Lean Analysis Skills
- MVP scope definition with user research
- `lean` and `lean-analyst` skills for preliminary discovery
- Output feeds directly into ipa-spec stage

**Acceptance Criteria:**
- `lean` triggers on "analyze MVP scope" intent
- Outputs focus on core features, constraints, user personas
- Results directly usable as ipa-spec input

### FR3: Installation & Workspace Setup
- Global installation to `~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/`
- Workspace installation to `.agent/skills/` with doc templates
- Windows (PowerShell) and Unix (bash) support

**Acceptance Criteria:**
- `./install.sh --global` works on Linux/macOS
- `./install.sh --workspace` copies doc templates to `./docs/`
- `.\install.ps1` works on Windows
- No errors with directory creation or permission issues

### FR4: Skill Index & Discoverability
- Central `skills_index.json` with all 24 skills
- Each skill tagged by category (Core, Support, Lean)
- Frontmatter provides skill description, triggers, and examples

**Acceptance Criteria:**
- `skills_index.json` contains all 24 skills with valid metadata
- Each skill has accurate trigger descriptions
- Antigravity IDE can load and parse all skills without errors

### FR5: Documentation & Migration Guidance
- README with quick-start and skill list
- Migration guide from IPA-for-CK (colon → hyphens, no CK references)
- Template doc files for bootstrapping projects

**Acceptance Criteria:**
- README covers installation, usage, and skill categories
- Migration guide explains 3+ key differences (naming, triggers, gates)
- Templates match Antigravity doc format standards

## Non-Functional Requirements

### NFR1: Performance
- Skill invocation latency < 100ms (excluding LLM processing)
- JSON frontmatter parsing < 50ms per skill
- Full pipeline execution (4 stages) completes in reasonable time

### NFR2: Reliability
- 100% skill frontmatter validation (no syntax errors)
- Zero CK tool references (grep confirms none exist)
- All hard-gate blocks functional and enforced

### NFR3: Compatibility
- Works with Antigravity IDE (Gemini CLI) v1.0+
- No external ClaudeKit dependencies
- Portable across Linux, macOS, Windows (WSL)

### NFR4: Maintainability
- Each skill under 500 lines (modular, focused)
- Consistent naming: hyphens only (no colons, underscores)
- Clear stage mapping in comments

### Stage Gate Mechanism

Hard-gate blocks prevent out-of-order execution:

```markdown
## Stage Gate: Requires SRD.md

Hard-gate-check:
- If `docs/SRD.md` does NOT exist, return error
- Message: "Run `ipa-spec` first to generate SRD.md"
```

## Technical Specifications

### Skill Frontmatter Format

All skills follow Antigravity IDE JSON frontmatter standard:

```json
{
  "id": "ipa-spec",
  "name": "IPA Spec Generation",
  "category": "ipa-core",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "triggers": ["spec", "requirements", "srd"],
  "description": "Generate Software Requirements Definition from user input",
  "output": ["SRD.md", "UI_SPEC.md"],
  "dependencies": [],
  "hardGates": []
}
```

### Stage Gate Hard-Blocks

When a skill requires prerequisites:

```json
"hardGates": [
  {
    "file": "docs/SRD.md",
    "error": "SRD.md not found. Run 'ipa-spec' first."
  }
]
```

### Template Documents

Users can customize via workspace install:
- `SRD.md.template` - Software Requirements Definition
- `UI_SPEC.md.template` - UI Specification
- `API_SPEC.md.template` - API Specification
- `DB_DESIGN.md.template` - Database Design

## Dependencies & Integrations

### External Dependencies
- **Antigravity IDE** (Gemini CLI) v1.0+ — Required runtime
- **No ClaudeKit dependency** — Fully standalone

### Internal Dependencies
- Core skills → Support skills (ipa-planner, ipa-docs)
- Lean skills → ipa-spec (discovery feeds into spec)
- ipa-all → All core skills (orchestration)

## Security & Compliance

### Data Handling
- No personal data collection
- User documents (SRD.md, API_SPEC.md) remain local
- No telemetry or tracking

### Code Quality
- All skills reviewed for security
- No hardcoded credentials or secrets
- Template files stripped of sensitive examples

## Maintenance & Support

### Ongoing Maintenance
- Monitor Antigravity IDE API changes
- Update migration guide for new versions
- Community contributions via GitHub PRs

### Known Limitations
- Requires Antigravity IDE v1.0+ (ClaudeKit IDE not supported)
- Hard-gates are advisory (enforced by skill logic, not platform)
- Large projects may need doc split across multiple files

## Future Enhancements (Out of Scope v1.0)

- [ ] Web UI for IPA pipeline visualization
- [ ] Real-time collaboration on doc generation
- [ ] Integration with CI/CD for automated validation
- [ ] Multi-language doc generation (Japanese, Spanish, etc.)
- [ ] Custom hard-gate plugins
