Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install branching-narrative-diagnosis

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 sorts the problem into one of seven states (choices with no effect, unmanageable branching, false choice, tension between player freedom and authored meaning, flowchart-like story, many endings without payoff, state management) and proposes a suitable branch structure. You get a diagnosis and structure models.
