Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install nanogpt-minimal-gpt-training

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 guides you through preparing data, training a small model on Shakespeare on CPU or GPT-2 on OpenWebText, then generating text. The deliberately short code helps you understand the architecture step by step. You get a trained model and pointers for modifying it.
