Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install design-doc-writing

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 helps you decide whether a design doc is warranted, then drafts or reviews it following the Design Docs at Google guidance. It structures context, goals, non-goals, trade-offs and alternatives. You get a document ready for review.
