Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install spec-design-before-coding

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 picks the method that fits the request, gathers the facts, asks the useful questions in rounds and compares the possible approaches. It writes a spec with checkable acceptance criteria, has it reviewed, then waits for your approval before starting the plan. You get a validated document to build on.
