Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install animation-principles-philosophy

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 explains the reason behind each principle, such as persistence of vision for squash and stretch or prediction for anticipation, at a teaching or mentoring level. You get a reasoned explanation of each principle to pass on.
