Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install keep-valid-design-tensions

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 separates disagreements that depend on context (cost versus latency, simplicity versus features) from those that need a decision. It proposes configuring, implementing in parallel or documenting the trade-off. You keep flexibility without an early decision.
