Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install skill-writing-tdd

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 first writes scenarios that fail without the skill, drafts the minimum skill needed, then reworks it to close rationalization loopholes. It checks each step before moving to the next.
