Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install mockmvc-controller-unit-tests

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 writes tests for the Spring web layer: GET, POST, PUT and DELETE requests, query parameters, validation, status codes and exception handling. Services are mocked so only the controller is tested.
