Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install lightning-htlc-lifecycle

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 describes each step of an HTLC, from forwarding to cooperative settlement or force-close, and explains CLTV deltas. You get what you need to diagnose a stuck HTLC or implement payment routing, with a look at PTLCs.
