Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

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

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 reviews and simplifies code by looking for what automated tools miss: reinvention, wrong frames, stored derived state, procedural rebuilds and needless generality. Each change keeps the same observable behaviour. You get shorter code without losing features.
