Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install clarify-underspecified-requests

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 decides whether the request is underspecified, asks the must-have questions first (goal, scope, constraints) and waits for your answers. It does not build on a guess. You avoid redoing an implementation that was misunderstood.
