Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install agent-friendly-cli-design-3

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent sets where the contract comes from, the command shape, safeguards proportionate to the possible damage and the verification tests. You get a CLI with JSON output, a dry-run option, an audit log and authentication rules.
