Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install self-supervised-vit-pretraining-tao

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 writes the training spec, runs teacher-student self-distillation, then exports or distils the resulting backbone and checks its inference. It also explains the TensorRT conversion.
