Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install parallel-codebase-orientation

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 splits the exploration across angles the area has material for, such as structure, documentation and history, then synthesises the reports into one orientation map. It avoids seeing only one aspect. You get an overview useful for picking up someone else's work.
