Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install context-files-request-prompt

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 assistant lists the essential files and the helpful ones, explains why each matters, notes the files it has already seen and states its uncertainties. You then provide the files you want before it answers.
