Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install spec-before-code-workflow

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 sets out a capability map, then a spec with objectives, scope, tech stack, commands and project structure, validated at each step. It breaks a requirement into testable modules before writing any code. You get a specification document to approve before the build.
