Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install genre-specific-story-structure

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 applies the chosen genre's pack: clue fairness for mysteries, romance beats, the thriller's ticking clock, the ordering of dread in horror or MG/YA category constraints. You get checklists and ledgers adapted to your story.
