Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install fail-open-config-detection

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 looks for fail-open defaults: hardcoded secrets, weak authentication and permissive security. It checks actual behavior and production impact, then writes an evidence-based report. You get a list of exploitable defaults to fix first.
