Agentic software development with CodeRabbit and Google Antigravity

AI agents are accelerating software development, but generating more code only accelerates software delivery when teams can validate it just as quickly as agents can write code. Developers need to understand whether agent-generated changes deliver the intended behavior, fit their architecture, and introduce risks without manually reviewing every line that will otherwise slow down the downstream SDLC stages.

CodeRabbit is the governance and control layer for agentic software development: helping teams evaluate agent-generated changes while keeping developers in control of the code they ship. CodeRabbit and Google Antigravity bring together an automated code-gen, review, and fixes agentic loop in the developer’s inner loop. Antigravity writes code, CodeRabbit reviews the changes and provides the necessary context to Antigravity so that it can fix the findings, all within the same agentic loop.

Developers can install the CodeRabbit plugin from Antigravity’s Plugin Marketplace Customizations tab or through the Google Antigravity CLI. The plugin equips Antigravity with the necessary skills and agents for using CodeRabbit for code reviews; the separately installed CodeRabbit CLI runs the local code reviews.

Extend your coding agent with automated review

The Antigravity Plugin Marketplace gives developers a curated directory to discover and activate partner plugins, including CodeRabbit.

The CodeRabbit plugin includes two skills:

  • Code review: Reviews local code changes with CodeRabbit and guides Antigravity through fixing findings and reviewing the fixes.
  • Autofix: Applies CodeRabbit’s existing review feedback from a GitHub pull request, with your approval for each change. This workflow requires the GitHub CLI to be installed and signed in.

The plugin also includes dedicated agents for these workflows. Skill details

To begin, install the CodeRabbit plugin by finding CodeRabbit under Customizations → Marketplace and clicking +, or run the following command:

agy plugin install coderabbit

If you have not previously installed the CodeRabbit CLI then please install the CodeRabbit CLI before you trigger the first review with CodeRabbit.

curl -fsSL https://cli.coderabbit.ai/install.sh | sh

For first time users, you will be asked to sign in to a CodeRabbit account. You can run the command:

coderabbit auth login

Once the plugin and CodeRabbit CLI are installed and you’ve signed in to CodeRabbit, ask Antigravity in natural language to review your changes and fix the findings. CodeRabbit identifies issues and provides the code context Antigravity needs to address them. Antigravity makes the fixes, requests another review, and reports any unresolved findings—all within the same agentic loop. Example of an instruction:

“Review my changes with CodeRabbit, fix the critical and major findings, and review again to verify the fixes. Report any unresolved findings.”

For developers, that means fewer interruptions and context switching between writing code and understanding the code changes that need attention.

Catch and fix issues in the inner loop

Writing code and reviewing it are different tasks in the SDLC. CodeRabbit delivers a dedicated, independent and adversarial code review with an agentic harness that's specialized to find hidden bugs and issues. It looks for functional or logical errors, race conditions, and security vulnerabilities, test coverage and also provides architectural feedback. CodeRabbit's reviews draw on the necessary codebase context, functional dependencies, project structure, your team’s coding guidelines and learned preferences to evaluate code changes in context of what is being built and what is the desired outcome.

Within Antigravity, that specialized code review becomes actionable feedback for your coding agent: what needs attention, why it matters, and the context needed to fix it. Antigravity can address the findings and request another review, all in an agentic loop, ultimately speeding up the overall software development lifecycle.

Get started with CodeRabbit in Antigravity

Follow the setup guide to install the plugin through the marketplace or Google Antigravity CLI, connect your CodeRabbit account, and run your first review. Then ask Antigravity to invoke a CodeRabbit review and implement the fixes it recommends.
