Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install api-error-handling

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 defines typed errors, normalised HTTP responses, useful logging and a retry strategy with increasing delays. It adds input validation and, if needed, a circuit breaker. You get error-handling code that stays consistent from one endpoint to another.
