Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install design-open-source-governance-model

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 finds the governance already in place, compares models by what they return per maintainer, then drafts an enforceable governance document. It plans succession and separates project assets from any single company.
