Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install aws-waf-web-acl-configuration

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 creates and associates a web ACL, runs managed rules in Count mode before enforcing them, adds rate-based rules, configures Bot Control and Fraud Control, then logging. It routes by task: bots, sign-ins, real client IP behind a CDN.
