Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install code-explainer-diagrams

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 explains code using an everyday analogy, an ASCII diagram of the flow or structure, a step-by-step walkthrough and a frequent pitfall. The explanations stay conversational, with several analogies for complex concepts. You get a clear explanation you can pass on.
