Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install fiction-reader-simulation

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 takes the reader profile you give, reads the draft from start to finish within that reader's knowledge, and reports the felt experience moment by moment. It does not write a craft critique. You get feedback on what the text makes the reader feel.
