Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install red-green-refactor-tdd-3

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 first writes a test that fails for the right reason, adds the minimum code to make it pass, then refactors without changing behaviour. It refuses shortcuts that skip the test step. You get code covered by tests from the start.
