Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install runpod-concepts-explained

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 explains Runpod concepts from sourced concept files: Pods, Serverless, VRAM, container images, disks, data centers and billing. It runs nothing and then points to the skill to act. You get an explanation before you choose.
