Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install n8n-binary-file-handling

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 reads and writes binary data in the right place, stages storage when an agent tool must work on a file and handles display in chat interfaces. You get a workflow that passes files along without losing them or reading them from the wrong field.
