Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install controlled-plain-english-prose

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 writes its prose in the spirit of ASD-STE100: short active sentences, one idea per sentence, plain approved words. It applies to explanations, summaries and pull request descriptions, never to code, identifiers or commit messages. You get text that is easy to read the first time.
