Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install codebase-beginner-walkthrough

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 sums up the idea in one sentence, then brings the parts onto an animated PR Lens diagram one at a time, until the whole picture appears. You get a link the reader opens to play the guided walkthrough.
