Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install macbook-always-on-setup

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 sets power options for plugged-in use: an 80% charge limit, sleep disabled on AC power, and diagnostics for USB devices that disappear after sleep. It also explains charge cycles and how an audio device recovers.
