Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install desktop-gui-automation

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 reads the accessibility tree of a visible window, then clicks, types, opens menus and dialogs, and takes screenshots in native applications or external browsers. The skill prefers a programmatic route first whenever one exists.
