Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install refactoring-small-safe-steps

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 identifies the structural problem, checks test coverage, then applies one transformation at a time while keeping the test suite green. You get a set of verified steps and advice for large-scale work.
