Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install method-complexity-reduction

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 spots the sources of complexity (nested conditions, if-else or switch chains, loops and complex booleans), extracts the logic into focused methods, then checks the result with tests. You get a main method that is easier to read and below the set threshold.
