Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install research-before-coding-workflow

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 defines the need, searches for existing solutions, then decides whether to reuse them, adapt them or write code. It can run a quick search or a full analysis with the researcher agent. You get a reasoned decision before any development.
