Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install c4-architecture-diagrams-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 produces audience-appropriate C4 diagrams from code or requirements, then renders them with the chosen renderer. You get architecture documentation at several levels of detail. Infrastructure topology is covered by a separate skill.
