Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install realistic-textures-ui-guide

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 writes skeuomorphic rules: material textures, 3D effects and physical metaphors, with Roboto and Germania One. You get a guide for tools built on familiar objects.
