Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install kicad-fabrication-outputs-cli

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 identifies the export you need, checks the kicad-cli binary, then runs the command from the matching group (sch, pcb, sym, fp or jobset). You get fabrication files, a bill of materials or a check report.
