      "Version: v0.5.2",
      "Non-interactive: `--json` requests JSON output. The release note describes login/signup offers for an interactive terminal and says `-y` on a terminal runs login; it does not specify headless behavior, prompts without a TTY, or output streams.",
      "--agent <slug>: Select agent(s), overriding detection.",
      "-y, --yes: Accept agent selection; on a terminal, run login.",
      "--skip-mcp: Skip MCP configuration.",
      "--skip-skills: Skip skill installation.",
      "--skip-login: Skip sign-in handling.",
      "--force: Repair the `fly` MCP entry while retaining extra keys.",
      "Detection matches `fly skills`: a tool is present when its parent directory exists, and the universal `~/.agents` target is always included.",
      "`--agent` overrides detection.",
      "`--force` repairs the `fly` MCP entry's type, URL, tools, and enabled state; extra keys such as headers stay.",
      "`--force` does not overwrite locally edited skill files; `fly skills install --force` is needed for that.",
      "`--force` does not bypass the symlink containment check.",
      "Skills and MCP files are written before sign-in.",
      "Interactive terminal behavior offers `fly auth login` and `fly auth signup`.",
      "`-y` on a terminal runs login"
