Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install explain-code-shape-with-evidence

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 frames the question, examines the code and its history, then writes a sourced explanation. It separates what is documented, what is inferred and what remains unknown, and can produce a reference document.
