Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install architecture-sized-to-project

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 first detects the project's tier among six, from observable signals, then limits pattern, database, authentication and testing choices to that tier. It flags accepted debt and explains how to move up a tier.
