Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install natural-prose-editing

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 spots stilted phrasing, metaphors that obscure the point, conditions detached from their outcome and repetition, then rewrites the passage while keeping the substance. You get a more direct and more human version.
