Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install game-design-principles

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 checks the core loop with the 30-second test, structures the design document and balances progression and difficulty. You get a design plan and a list of points to validate in a prototype.
