Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install fiction-fact-checking-research

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 opens a research note for each question, sets out a search plan, then records findings with their source, confidence level and the chapters that rely on them. It flags risks without deciding for you.
