Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install figure-ground-hierarchy

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 reviews elevation, overlays, contrast and active states so users can tell what sits in front. It also checks dark mode. You get rules that separate the foreground from the background.
