Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install single-insight-simplification

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 spots symptoms, such as the same thing implemented five times or special cases piling up, then looks for the general principle that absorbs them. You get a simplification that removes code instead of adding it.
