Antigravity is project-scoped. Use: rtk init --agent antigra
Error message
Antigravity is project-scoped. Use: rtk init --agent antigravity
What it means
The Antigravity integration is project-scoped (files inside the workspace), so rtk rejects `--global` to avoid writing to a nonexistent global location. Same validation family as the kilocode bail, opposite direction from windsurf/gemini.

Solutions
- Run `rtk init --agent antigravity` from the project root, without -g
- If scripting machine setup, iterate over project dirs rather than using -g
Example fix
# before rtk init -g --agent antigravity # error: project-scoped # after rtk init --agent antigravity
Defensive patterns
Strategy: validation
Validate before calling
# bash: antigravity is project-scoped rtk init --agent antigravity # from the project root, no -g
Prevention
- Never pass -g blanket-style in provisioning scripts; resolve scope per agent
- Keep a table of agent scopes in team onboarding docs
When it happens
Trigger: `rtk init -g --agent antigravity` (or --global) — the bail at src/main.rs:2065.
Common situations: Scripts that always pass -g; docs drift mixing up which agents are global vs project scoped.
