Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install motoko-backend-writing

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 .mo files following the skill's rules: mo:core instead of mo:base, no stable keyword in enhanced orthogonal persistence mode, contextual dot notation, mixins, the ?? operator and a layered architecture. It also uses mops commands for dependencies and checks.
