Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install express-node-api

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 sets up the Express app, its routes, security middleware and a global error handler, then adds structured logging and graceful shutdown. You get a simple REST API, ready for production.
