Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install change-impact-analysis-4

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 traces dependency chains and affected files, checks naming and pattern consistency, then calculates a weighted risk score. You get an impact report, a rollback plan and the scope of a canary rollout. It does not write code.
