Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install build-cli-for-gui-apps

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 follows the generation phases (build, refine, test, validate, list) and checks each gate before moving on. You get a CLI harness tested and validated against a quality checklist.
