Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install first-draft-unblocking

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 identifies the block, such as being unable to start, stalling mid-draft or a draft that drags on, then proposes a method to produce text without judging it. You get an action plan for the first draft, to be revised later.
