Install with the CLI
In a terminal, from the folder you want:
npx --yes palatekit@latest install soviet-storybook-grotesqueWith 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 picks out the anchors in your photo (subjects, pose, props), then writes a precise style prompt for an image model. The result mimics a 1980s children's book: shaky ink, faded watercolor, dirty paper, awkward anatomy. A short absurd English caption is drawn into the image.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an image generation tool?
Yes. The skill writes the prompt and the quality check, but an image or image-editing model that you already use produces the picture.
Can the caption be removed?
Yes, just ask. Otherwise the caption is in English, and if the model spells badly it can be added afterwards with an image-editing tool.
