Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install game-ai-decisions-pathfinding

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 keeps decision-making (state machine or behavior tree), steering and pathfinding separate, then connects them to your engine's navigation API. It explains composites and running statuses.
