Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install source-coding-huffman-kraft

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 checks the Kraft inequality, builds a Huffman code for a known distribution and compares the average length with the source entropy. It checks the Shannon bound with Z3. You get a prefix code and its average length.
