Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install backfill-decision-record

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 checks eligibility and evidence, reconstructs the context as far as possible, then drafts the ADR with an honesty clause that marks it as backfilled. You get a trustworthy record for future readers.
