Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install karpathy-style-code-review

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 reads git diff --staged, or the last commit if nothing is staged, and runs a complexity checker and a diff surgeon. It then reviews by hand against four principles: think before coding, simplicity first, surgical changes and goal-driven execution. It cites exact lines and writes a markdown report with tool scores, a PASS or WARN per principle, a verdict of PASS, PASS WITH WARNINGS or NEEDS WORK, and specific fixes.
