Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install agent-startup-context-setup

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 reviews the files that initialize an agent, such as AGENTS.md overlays, the role, skills and rig spec, and spots defects: stale instructions, a catch-all startup file, lost product intent. It recommends a more targeted version.
