Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install local-vscode-dev-server

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 starts the vscode.dev server from the sibling repository, opens the right URL and can wire a mock agent host for the agents window. You get a testable web workbench without an Insiders build.
