Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install clean-code-maintainability-rules

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 applies 48 rules ranked by impact: explicit names, small functions, useful comments, error handling and separation of concerns. You get more readable code, with the outdated advice of the original book corrected.
