Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install design-decision-rationale-2

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 rebuilds the context, constraints, rejected alternatives and trade-offs of a UX decision, then files them in a reference document. You keep a record of the why, useful for design reviews and newcomers.
