Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install root-cause-tracing-backtrace

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 starts from the symptom, finds the immediate call, follows the chain back to the origin, then fixes at the source rather than where the error shows up. You get the exact trigger of the bug and a fix in the right place.
