Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install python-retry-timeout-patterns

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 separates transient from permanent errors, sets up bounded retries with exponential backoff and jitter, then puts timeouts on network calls. It can also propose circuit breakers.
