Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install handwritten-speech-bubble

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent sets the bubble's text, position, size, font size and tail side. The outline draws on, the paper fades in and the text types in handwriting with a slight cartoon wobble. The background is transparent so it overlays an edit.
