Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install feature-execution-tracing

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 traces a feature's execution from its entry points down to persistence, then describes the architecture layers, patterns and dependencies. It can also run as a sub-task of feature-dev. You get a map of files and flows, with their locations.
