Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install incident-postmortem-writing

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 rebuilds the timeline from evidence, identifies the root cause and contributing factors, records the wrong turns and assigns actions to an owner, without naming people. You get a lasting document for the engineer who hits something similar later.
