Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install async-test-condition-waiting

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 replaces the sleep and setTimeout calls in your tests with a loop that waits for the condition you care about, with a maximum timeout. You get tests that no longer pass only on fast machines.
