Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install backend-code-review

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

Walks seven questions one per turn: read/write ratio and p99 QPS, tenancy, sync versus async, data sensitivity, monolith versus services, RPO and RTO, and SLO with an error-budget owner. It surfaces kill criteria, then runs a decision-engine script that picks the language and pattern profile and names the approver chain. It then forks into specialists in order, starting with the SLO architect, then API design, database and migration review, observability and CI/CD.
