Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install agent-skill-writing-guide

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 applies the rules for folder structure, SKILL.md and detailed rule files, and checks that each convention is justified and illustrated with an example. You get a coherent skill that is easy to evolve.
