Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install error-states-and-recovery

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 every way your interface can fail, then builds a matrix: failure, message, placement and recovery action. It rewrites the copy with a four-part anatomy (what happened, why, what to do, where to get help) and implements the components with accessibility wired in. You get the code and the final matrix.

Frequently asked questions

Does the skill depend on other skills?

No. It names neighbouring skills (loading, performance, accessibility) to hand off to, but works on its own with its two files.

Do I need a specific framework?

No. The patterns are plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and the agent adapts them to your project's component conventions.
