Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install headless-windows-vm-docker

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, starts, stops or restarts a Windows 11 VM running in Docker with KVM acceleration, then opens an SSH connection or takes a screenshot for debugging. It checks the host prerequisites first. You get a usable Windows VM without a remote desktop.
