Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install cognitive-design-usability-principles

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 evaluates an interface or physical product through affordances, signifiers, feedback and mental models, then analyzes the root causes of an error. You get design fixes rather than blaming the user.
