Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install cli-user-experience-patterns

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 improves a CLI's user experience: error messages that explain the problem and the fix, semantic colours that respect NO_COLOR, progress bars and interactive prompts. It draws on Rust examples using miette.
