Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install lean-source-code-comments

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 from the rule that a comment must carry information the code does not. It removes comments that paraphrase, adds ones that explain a non-obvious choice, and fixes declaration docs. It applies across languages.
