Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install java-root-cause-debugging

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 works through reproduction and hypotheses, reads stack traces, then helps you attach a remote debugger over JDWP, in VS Code or IntelliJ. It covers Maven or Gradle tests, Spring Boot, Quarkus and containers. It applies safety rules: JDWP bound to loopback only.
