Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install behaviour-preserving-refactoring-2

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 renames identifiers, extracts long functions, replaces magic numbers with constants and removes unused code, then checks consistency. It does not handle bugs or security. You get clearer code with unchanged behaviour.
