Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install minimal-scope-guardrail

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 applies three rules: change only what was asked, prefer the simplest solution, and ask rather than assume. It flags unnecessary abstractions and edits. You get smaller fixes that are easier to review.
