Use Image from Clipboard

Overview

Antigravity CLI does not support direct image paste (the Alt+V shortcut available in Claude Code and Codex CLI). This skill is the workaround: it reads an image from the Windows clipboard via .NET System.Windows.Forms and saves it as a PNG to a temp path, emitting the file path so Antigravity can pick it up with its image-viewing tool.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• You want to share a screenshot or clipboard image with Antigravity and it cannot accept it via direct paste
• You need to materialise clipboard image data as a file path for further analysis or upload
• Running any PowerShell workflow that needs clipboard image access on Windows

Not for: macOS/Linux, non-image clipboard content (text, files), or Claude Code/Codex sessions where Alt+V paste works natively.

The Problem This Solves

CLI	Native image paste	This skill needed?
Claude Code	✅ Alt+V	No
Codex CLI	✅ Alt+V	No
Antigravity CLI	❌ Not supported	Yes

Workflow

1. Take a screenshot or copy any image to the clipboard (Print Screen, Snipping Tool, Win+Shift+S, etc.)
2. Run the script below in PowerShell — it outputs a file path
3. Pass that path to Antigravity using its view_file tool on the returned path

Script

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
if ([System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::ContainsImage()) {
    $img = [System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::GetImage()
    $tempPath = [System.IO.Path]::Combine($env:TEMP, "cli_screenshot.png")
