Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install self-referential-system-design

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 describes forms of self-reference, designs a metacognitive loop and analyses fixed points and emergence, following recursive architecture patterns. You get a system diagram and the risks of poorly controlled loops.
