Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install skill-testing-with-subagents

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 runs pressure scenarios without the skill to observe the failure, writes the skill to fix those failures, then closes the workarounds. You get a skill verified against observed behavior, and a reusable scenario template.
