Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install app-shell-navigation-design

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 designs the part of the screen that does not change during navigation: top bar, collapsible sidebar, app launcher and environment indicator. It follows a review checklist. You get a consistent shell across all apps in one suite.
