Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install real-world-testing-practices

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

For each test, the agent checks which real scenario it protects, avoids mocking classes and servers without need, and drops tests that only check a value is defined. It recommends in-process engines for fast iteration, targeted real servers for final runs and checks before finishing.
