install.sh --skip-path

Documented PATH flag the shell installer does not accept.

The documentation page antigravity.google/docs/cli/install lists --skip-path as a flag meant to prevent the automatic PATH addition in the shell profile during installation. However, the bootstrapper script actually shipped at antigravity.google/cli/install.sh (239 lines, checked via curl on 07/27/2026) doesn't recognize this flag: its argument parser only accepts -d/--dir (target directory) and -h/--help. Any other parameter, including --skip-path, falls into the *) fallback branch and produces [ERROR] Unknown parameter: --skip-path, followed by an abort with exit code 1 - the installation then doesn't happen at all. On top of that: a search for "PATH=" in the script returns only one hit, the internal variable BINARY_PATH for the binary's install location. The script never writes to a shell profile and never sets a PATH variable anywhere; it only downloads and verifies the binary and, at the end, internally hands off to agy install. The purpose of the flag described in the docs is therefore currently moot, regardless of the parameter value passed. On Windows it behaves differently: install.cmd collects unknown parameters in FORWARD_ARGS and appends them to SETUP_FLAGS, and install.ps1 does the same via $passthroughArgs. There, --skip-path doesn't cause an abort but gets passed through unchecked to agy.exe install. Whether the binary then evaluates or ignores the parameter can't be determined from the outside - the only observable fact is that the call doesn't fail.
