Corrupting files and issue editing antigravity

I kept running into Antigravity corrupting my files, especially when it tried to replace multi-line React blocks. It would duplicate the top of the file or break JSX. After a lot of trial and error, I found the fix.

Here’s the simple version:

✔️ Why it happens

The replace_file_content and multi_replace_file_content tools break when the AI tries to replace multi-line blocks. They mis-match the code region and overwrite the wrong area.

✔️ The Fix

Put these rules in a .md file in your repo:

Antigravity Fix for File Corruption

1. Avoid multi-line replacements.

2. Use single-line anchors for edits (target a unique line).

3. For large React files, rewrite the *entire file* and paste manually.

Then when starting a session, tell Antigravity:

“Please read and follow ./antigravity-rules.md.”

Once I did this, Antigravity stopped corrupting files and fixed the broken components in one run.

Hope this helps anyone stuck in the same loop.
