Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install premortem-failure-analysis

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 sets the depth of analysis from the context, then goes through the risk categories assuming the project has failed. Each reported risk must be checked with evidence to rule out false positives. You get a list of likely failures and their evidence.
