Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

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

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 uses a design specification to make a command-line tool safe for AI agents: structured JSON output, error handling, input contracts, guardrails, exit codes and self-description. It is a proposal to adapt to your product's contract, not an external certification.
