Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install clarify-data-question-first

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 assumes the first request is incomplete, asks at least one framing question and fills in the intent block. When a metric does not exist or may be misread, it tells you before querying.
