Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install polyglot-dead-code-detection

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 runs vulture for Python and knip for TypeScript, with a confidence threshold and an allowlist for false positives. A dedicated guide covers Rust. It then helps remove the code that is confirmed unused.
