Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install mongodb-schema-design-patterns

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 analyzes your application's access patterns, applies the embed-or-reference rules, then flags anti-patterns and suitable design patterns. You get a justified schema, with its validation rules.
