Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install codebase-architecture-documentation

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 the project and writes documentation covering the overview, architecture, folder structure, components, integrations, data models, setup and deployment. You get an onboarding guide for new developers.
