Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install observability-fundamentals

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 answers the foundational questions: what a wide event is, why high cardinality matters, how events differ from metrics and logs, and how instrumentation supports debugging. It points to the technical skills when it is time to act. You get an explanation grounded in principles.
