Good \(\mathbb{Z}\)-gradings are used in quantum Hamiltonian reduction for affine Lie superalgebras, where they play an important role in the construction of super \(W\)-algebras, both finite and affine. In this paper, the author classifies good \(\mathbb{Z}\)-gradings of basic Lie superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. To do this, the author obtains a criterion for when two diagram characteristics determine the same \(\mathbb{Z}\)-grading by using the action of the Weyl grupoid. In fact, the author describes explicitly the centralizer of a nilpotent even element and of \(\mathfrak{sl}_2\)-triples in \(\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)\) and \(\mathfrak{osp}(m|2n)\) and proves that all good \(\mathbb{Z}\)-gradings of the exceptional Lie superalgebras \(F(4)\), \(G(3)\) and \(D(2,1, \alpha)\) are Dynkin gradings. The author also classifies the good \(\mathbb{Z}\)-gradings of \(\mathfrak{psl}(2|2), \mathfrak{gl}(m|n)\) and \(\mathfrak{osp}(m|2n)\), by using a generalization of the concept of pyramids in the case of the two last ones.
