Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install proximity-spacing-grouping

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 reviews your blocks (labels, fields, headings) and adjusts gaps so that related items read as one group without outlines. You get spacing rules you can apply directly, and a note on the cases where proximity alone is not enough.
