## Summary

Claude Code stopped launching after a workshop installation that used a native installer, leaving the program’s directory ".local\bin" missing from the Windows PATH.

The user turned to Google’s Antigravity IDE, powered by Gemini, which spotted the PATH trap and advised reinstalling via npm. After the reinstall, the command worked again. Gemini then helped clean up 150 legacy permission rules that had accumulated over six months, eliminating a flood of yellow warning messages.

Finally, the user used the "/context" command to visualize memory usage and experimented with folder hierarchy to optimize token consumption. The experience highlighted how an AI agent can diagnose and resolve tooling issues quickly.

## Key points

- Claude Code failed to launch after workshop install due to missing PATH entry.
- Google's Antigravity (Gemini) identified the issue and guided a reinstall via npm to restore functionality.
- Gemini also cleaned 150 legacy permission rules and helped visualize memory usage with /context.

## Why it matters

The story shows how an AI assistant can quickly diagnose and resolve developer tooling issues, reducing downtime and improving workflow efficiency for AI developers.
