Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install minimal-solution-coding

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

On any coding task, the agent first asks whether the need really exists, then looks for a solution already in the code or the standard library before adding a dependency. Three intensity levels are offered: lite, full (default) and ultra. It also flags cases where simplicity is not enough.
