Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install shield-advanced-ddos-protection

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 helps choose between Shield Standard and Advanced, subscribes the account and protects resources (CloudFront, load balancers, Elastic IP addresses, Global Accelerator, Route 53 hosted zones), enables automatic layer 7 mitigation, configures health-based detection and prepares access to the Shield Response Team.
