Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install restrained-interface-design-craft

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 questions each element, removes what does not serve a purpose and tunes proportions, spacing, type, states and microcopy. It follows modes (create, critique, reduce, polish) and relies on foundation and exception templates.
