Antigravity Auto Retry + Auto Allow
Automatically clicks the "Retry" button when an Antigravity IDE agent session fails due to a transient error, and optionally auto-approves command permission dialogs so the agent can run without manual intervention.
How it works
This extension silently monitors the Antigravity IDE using Windows UI Automation and handles two types of interruptions:
🔄 Auto Retry (Error Recovery)
When the agent encounters a transient error (rate limits, server errors), the extension automatically clicks the Retry button to keep your session flowing.
✅ Auto Allow (Permission Approval)
When the agent requests permission to run a command, read a file, or write to a path, the IDE shows a dialog with:
- "Yes, allow this time" — temporary one-time approval
- "Yes, and always allow" — permanent approval for that command pattern
With Auto Allow enabled, the extension clicks your chosen option automatically so the agent never gets stuck waiting for approval.
Features
- Native Integration: Directly triggers actions via UI Automation — no keyboard macros.
- Non-intrusive: Never steals your mouse or window focus.
- Smart Backoff: Uses exponential backoff if retries keep failing.
- Configurable Allow Mode: Choose between one-time or permanent approval.
- Status Indicator: Shows a spinning icon in the status bar when active.
Installation
- Open VS Code or Antigravity IDE.
- Go to the Extensions view (
Ctrl+Shift+X).
- Search for Novastore Antigravity Auto Retry.
- Click Install.
- The auto-retry monitor will start automatically!
Requirements
- Windows OS: The underlying mechanism uses Windows UI Automation (
UIAutomationClient).

⚠️ Warning: Auto Allow lets the agent execute commands without your review. Use at your own risk.
