Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install minimal-go-container-images

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 audits a Go application Dockerfile, then moves it to a scratch or distroless base with a static binary, a multi-stage build and the ldflags and trimpath options. It explains each size gain. You get a much lighter image with no extra tools.
