Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install shiny-bslib-theme-customization

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 configures bs_theme(), picks a preset or Bootswatch theme, adds colors, fonts and Sass or CSS rules, then handles dark mode and makes R plots match the theme with thematic. You get an app with a consistent style.
