Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install explain-technical-topic-plainly

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 answers 'what is this?' by covering the who, what, where, why and when of a technical subject, in accessible language. You get a short explanation without unnecessary jargon.
