Evolving Spec-Driven Development: Conductor Now Supports Antigravity
Conductor, introduced as a Gemini CLI extension for spec-driven development (SDD), is evolving into a plugin that supports Antigravity CLI and other tools. The change moves project awareness from ephemeral chat logs into persistent, version-controlled Markdown artifacts while replacing strict command sequences with conversational creation and iteration of context, specs, and plans. Plugins package skills, rules, MCP servers, and hooks, and the Conductor Plugin can update project context and mark plan tasks complete as discussions progress, while preserving existing commands, specs, plans, shared configuration, and development tracks. The post reports a higher success rate on the most complex subset of TerminalBench tasks than a user not using SDD, and gives an Antigravity installation command: agy plugins install https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/conductor.
Notion’s hosted MCP server: an inside look
Notion’s hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server describes its move from a downloadable MCP server to an all-in-one hosted service that lets AI clients such as Cursor and Claude Desktop interact with workspaces. The initial proof of concept generated MCP tools from Notion’s OpenAPI schema, mapping endpoints one-to-one to API calls, but setup required API keys or Docker and the approach consumed substantial context when handling hierarchical block JSON. The hosted version uses a code-generation pipeline that converts OpenAPI schemas to Zod, combines rewritten AI-oriented tools with wrappers for existing v1 APIs, and exposes them through a central integration. Users connect through one-click OAuth; the server manages sessions and tokens, with streamable HTTP and SSE supported for client compatibility. A design change is Notion-flavoured Markdown, which represents blocks including callouts, columns, pages, and databases more efficiently for agent conversations, while semantic search can span Notion and over ten third-party apps.
Facilitating Docs-as-Code implementation for users unfamiliar with Markdown
Grab introduced a rich-text, WYSIWYG editor in its TechDocs portal to help non-engineering contributors work within a Docs-as-Code process despite limited familiarity with Markdown and GitLab. The editor keeps GitLab as the central storage system, uses Lexical to import and export Markdown, and supports page reordering, renaming, deletion, formatting, diagrams, and switching between normal and Markdown views. Three user journeys cover editing existing TechDocs and creating stand-alone or entity-linked documentation, with GitLab OAuth2, merge-request creation, repository access checks, and scheduler-based entity-catalog registration after merges. A phased rollout added drafts, image uploads, diagram integrations, concurrent-session visibility, and live preview, while pending-MR displays and conflict-resolution tools address collaboration risks.
