  "summary": "The article discusses the process of elevating Antigravity agent skills through interactive UI workflows. By embedding native chat UI components directly into agent instructions, the agent transforms from a passive text parser to an active technical interviewer with a pleasant user experience. The author outlines the anatomy of an interactive skill in Antigravity, where agent capabilities are packaged as skills containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter for discovery and Markdown instructions for execution. Upon encountering explicit instructions to invoke the ask_question tool, the agent suspends execution and renders a native, interactive UI modal in the chat window. This tool invocation bridges the gap between agent autonomy and human-in-the-loop (HITL) alignment, presenting structured radio buttons, checkboxes, and write-in fields to eliminate repetitive questioning across sessions and subagents. The article also explains the agent's lifecycle, including workspace state hydration, interactive UI rendering, selection processing with fallbacks, and state persistence.",
