Antigravity CLI scores 54.7 (C) on agent readiness against Sculptor's 53.1 (D), and leads in 2 of 7 scored categories. Sculptor leads on payments & pricing and maintenance & community. Both do agent harnesses.

- Antigravity CLI: C 54.7, rank #899 of 1510 · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/antigravity-cli.min.md
- Sculptor: D 53.1, rank #966 of 1510 · https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/sculptor.min.md
- Antigravity CLI, good for Developers on Google AI plans or Gemini Enterprise who want a terminal agent with a sandbox on by default and access to several model families, depending on plan. Ahead on Schema & documentation, 78 against 45; Agent ergonomics, 78 against 50.
- Sculptor, good for Developers who want parallel coding agents in isolated workspaces and are fine with a research preview. Ahead on Payments & pricing, 60 against 30; Maintenance & community, 75 against 68. Also No key needed to call it; Open source; No incidents deducted, where Antigravity CLI loses 3 points for them.

Why the edge:
- Schema & documentation, Antigravity CLI +33: Antigravity CLI 78 (Framework reading. No published JSON Schema for settings.json, mcp_config.json or hooks.json was found, although the docs type each key (10). llms.txt at antigravity.google/llms.txt, and every docs page has a Markdown copy (10). Pages say when to use each permission preset and execution mode, what each allows and when the sandbox applies (15). Presets, modes, output formats, status values and effort levels are enumerated (13). The headless page documents the output envelope, the status values and exit codes, with a jq example (15). A dated changelog on the docs site and versioned release notes and tags in the repository (15). 10+10+15+13+15+15 = 78.); Sculptor 45 (Harness reading. A README, specs and agent docs in the repository; no API reference (45).)
- Payments & pricing, Sculptor +30: Antigravity CLI 30 (Harness reading of the published rubric. No payment protocol in the docs, the pricing page or the plans page (0). Plan prices are public without a login, with a $0 individual plan and Gemini Enterprise Standard or Plus from $30 a seat a month, and Google AI Pro at $20 and Ultra at $100 or $200 a month per Google's 19 May 2026 post. Overages draw on AI credits at Gemini Enterprise consumption rates, which were not read, so this is plan-level pricing (10). The pricing page lists the $0 plan as needing no subscription, and none of the pages read asks for a payment method, but the account flow was not tested (20). Sign-in is a browser flow with a Google account, or a Gemini API key set by hand, and the CLI won't start unauthenticated (0). 0+10+20+0 = 30.); Sculptor 60 (Free self-hosted software with nothing to buy, so 0 for a protocol and 20 each for public pricing, a free tier and onboarding with no sign-up, 60.)
- Agent ergonomics, Antigravity CLI +28: Antigravity CLI 78 (Framework reading, adapted to a harness driven by a pipeline. MCP tools can be allowed or refused by server and tool, and a 20,000-token budget for user rules stops large rule sets from crowding out skills and MCP tools (16). No turn or spend cap appears in the flag reference, and `--print-timeout` sets a wall-clock limit only, with no limit by default (10). The JSON envelope carries a status field and token usage, and since 1.4.11 a `finished_reason` field says why a turn ended early (16). Exit codes are documented, but a tool soft-denied in headless mode still exits 0 (14). `--continue` and `--conversation` resume earlier runs (14). A Python SDK on PyPI, which is a separate package, and no second SDK language for the CLI (8). 16+10+16+14+14+8 = 78.); Sculptor 50 (Harness reading. Workspaces as isolated copies, review and merge back, and built-in skills (50).)
- Maintenance & community, Sculptor +7: Antigravity CLI 68 (1.4.12 on 30 October 2026, marked Latest in the docs changelog, 5 days before this check (30). 56 tagged releases from 1.1.11 (6 August) to 1.4.12, each with a changelog entry; 1.5.0 is tagged and in the repository changelog on 4 November but not yet in the docs changelog, so it isn't counted (20). Responsiveness rests on a public changelog, a community forum linked from the terms and the GitHub repository, but no replies could be read (8). The google-antigravity Python SDK is a separate package and no SDK for the CLI itself was found; PyPI couldn't be read on 4 November, so the line rests on the 10 October reading (10). No public CI or dependency list for the CLI, since the source is not published (0). 30+20+8+10+0 = 68.); Sculptor 75 (Commits on 6 November 2026 and frequent tagged versions (30). More than three releases in 90 days (20). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent; the README says Imbue can't take many outside contributions yet (0). Current official downloads (15). CI on pull requests (10). 30 + 20 + 0 + 15 + 10 = 75.)
