Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install repository-history-narrative

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 explores the repository, analyzes its architecture, then goes through the commit history to find patterns and decisions. It writes two documents: a technical summary and a narrative of the project's evolution. The content stays grounded in the code and the history.
