Install with the CLI
In a terminal, from the folder you want:
npx --yes palatekit@latest install n8n-code-node-decisionsWith 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 loginThe agent reviews the logic and favours expressions, editable fields and built-in nodes, keeping the Code node for cases that really need it. You get a more readable and faster workflow, with JavaScript or Python written only where necessary.
