Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install agent-intent-capture-ethos

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 first reads the repository and its documentation, then asks the questions that reading the code cannot settle. It presents a draft ETHOS.md and hands it to the writing skill.
