Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install legacy-codebase-style-rules

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 scans the code for implicit habits, puts conflicts to you one at a time, then writes a .ai-style-rules.md file with reference files, naming rules and prohibitions. You get rules that agents can apply on every turn.
