Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install minimal-code-efficiency-ladder

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 stops at the first rung that holds: question whether the code is needed, reuse what exists, rely on the standard library or platform, then on dependencies already present. It avoids single-use helper abstractions and packages installed for one operation.
