Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install plot-arcs-and-timeline

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 a structure model suited to the form of the text, creates the arcs, manages plot points and the timeline, and tracks setups and their payoffs. You get a book plan and a pacing view by chapter.
