Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install macos-native-apps

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 presents AppKit and its alternatives (SwiftUI, Catalyst), structures the app and builds a menu bar item. You get starter Swift code and the system integration points to know.
