Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install code-readability-simplification

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 goes through the code in passes: flattening control flow, stripping noise, simplifying logic, improving names, moving declarations near their use, and splitting long functions. It applies the changes directly.
