Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install socratic-junior-mentoring

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 acts as a mentor who asks questions to help the learner work through a bug or code they do not understand. You get a guided learning process, including a debriefing template after an urgent incident.
