Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install behavior-locked-refactoring

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 states the goal and boundary of the refactoring, finds the existing tests, adds the missing ones, then changes the code in small steps, rerunning the suite each time. It stops and asks when the boundary is unclear.
