Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install gcp-compute-engine-instances

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 creates instances with gcloud (custom machine type, Shielded VM, data disk, startup script), then sets up managed instance groups. You get the commands and a sample startup script.
