Install with the CLI
In a terminal, from the folder you want:
npx --yes palatekit@latest install podcast-cold-open-creatorWith 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 loginThe agent scans the transcript for a complete story (setup, disaster, failed attempt, insight), then picks verbatim clips and reorders them to build curiosity. It ends on an unresolved line. You get a file with the clips, their timestamps, the structure and a five-test quality check.

What you get
- SKILL.md: the story-beats method, scene-selection fallback, timing rules and output template
- references/gold-markers-guide.md: phrases to look for in a transcript (failure, fear, doubt, realization)
- A ready-to-fill output format: clips, structure, closing line, test results
Good fit for
- Opening an interview episode with a clip that makes people want to hear the rest
- Picking strong moments from a long transcript
- Creating an audio or video teaser from existing clips
Not for
- Writing narration: the method forbids adding or rewording speech
- An episode without a timestamped transcript
- Editing the audio itself: the skill produces the edit plan, not the sound file

Frequently asked questions
Does the skill change what guests say?
No. It only cuts and reorders sentences that were actually spoken, with no additions or rewording.
It mentions other skills. Do I need to install them?
No. The neighboring skills (clip extraction, YouTube titles) are only mentioned. The method works on its own.
