Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install documentation-stranger-test

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 README and guides as a newcomer would, across three levels (first contact, comprehension, activation), and records each point of confusion. You get a report with priority fixes.
