Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

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

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 reads the error messages, builds a reliable reproduction command, and traces back to the cause before suggesting a fix. It refuses symptom patches until the cause is established.
