Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install fix-root-cause-not-symptom

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 reproduces the problem, then asks “why?” at each step until it finds the wrong decision in the code. A guard counts as a fix only when the state it handles is legitimate.
