Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install cli-user-message-standards

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

Before editing code that prints messages, the agent follows the output architecture rules: warning, error and info functions, color nesting, choosing between stdout and stderr, and compatibility with Git Bash on Windows.
