Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install orbstack-cli-reference

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 picks the right command among orb, orbctl and docker for the task: creating or managing Linux machines, running containers, setting up .orb.local domains and networking, or automating use in CI. Reference files detail each topic.
