Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install root-cause-debugging-2

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 reproduces or characterizes the symptom, observes before interpreting, localizes the first incorrect boundary, then tests one hypothesis at a time. You get a demonstrated cause and a minimal fix, with regression evidence.
