Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install general-code-quality-testing

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 reviews or writes code according to principles shared across technologies: short functions, explicit error handling, clear architecture and unit and integration tests. You get code that is easier to read and maintain.
