Gemini CLI (deprecated)
Gemini CLI setup is retired in DefenseClaw; use the Antigravity connector and remove any existing managed Gemini CLI hooks safely.
Deprecated on every platform
DefenseClaw no longer offers new Gemini CLI setup on Windows, macOS, or Linux. Use the supported Antigravity connector instead.
Gemini CLI has been removed from installers, setup pickers, the TUI, active
connector matrices, and live-test lanes. An explicit defenseclaw setup geminicli command now refuses before changing configuration.
Gemini CLI is also excluded from AI-asset discovery and from skill, plugin,
MCP, and CodeGuard catalog or install operations. MCP set/unset is disabled;
use Antigravity's supported asset surfaces for new work. The legacy Gemini CLI
home and settings.json paths remain resolvable only for doctor, verified
receipt migration, teardown, and uninstall cleanup.

DefenseClaw refuses new Gemini CLI setup on native Windows x64. There is no supported PowerShell, WSL, Git Bash, or mixed-path workaround that re-enables it; use the Antigravity connector instead.
Remove an existing managed installation
DefenseClaw retains the old Gemini CLI lifecycle code only so existing users can restore their pre-DefenseClaw settings without losing unrelated Gemini configuration:
defenseclaw setup remove geminicli --yesFull DefenseClaw uninstall also invokes the same receipt-bound cleanup. The cleanup removes only DefenseClaw-owned hook and telemetry entries, restores an authenticated pristine backup when it is still safe to do so, and preserves foreign or drifted content for manual review.
For new configuration, run:
defenseclaw setup antigravity
