Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install level-design-pacing-blockout

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 derives level dimensions from the controller's constants, builds a blockout before decoration and lays out encounters as a sequence of beats with set intensity. You see the tension curve before building the rooms.
