Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install non-happy-state-design

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 inventories data sources and interactive surfaces, then designs each non-happy state (loading, empty, error, partial, conflict, offline). When booleans make the code hard to follow, it replaces them with a state machine.
