Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install macos-hig-design-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 checks the menu bar, keyboard shortcuts, window behavior and context menus, then proposes fixes in SwiftUI or AppKit. You get a priority-ranked review with examples.
