Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install commit-message-from-diff

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 reads the diff, staged files or your description, identifies the commit type, then writes a Conventional Commits message focused on intent. It does not run git commit itself.
