Install with the CLI
In a terminal, from the folder you want:
npx --yes palatekit@latest install skill-writing-principles-guideWith 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 loginThe agent applies the writing principles: a description for invocation, a clear information hierarchy, one meaning per term, and a split when the skill grows. You get a skill that triggers more reliably and is easier to maintain.
