Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install scene-level-writing-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 builds scene cards, checks that each scene has a stake and an outcome, and improves dialogue, exposition and chapter openings. You get scene cards and targeted revision ideas.
