Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install shell-scripting-portable-bash

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 bash, zsh or POSIX scripts, builds pipelines and automates command-line tasks. It applies robustness practices such as set -euo pipefail, traps and proper quoting. You get a readable script that runs across environments.
