Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install code-explanation-audience

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 adapts depth, structure and examples to the intended audience, then checks that the explanation is understandable. It relies on a teaching method. It is not for producing technical documentation, which follows a different procedure.
