Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install squash-stretch-techniques

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 restates the volume rule: what squashes widens, what stretches thins. It sets the elasticity spectrum for each object, then gives benchmarks for interfaces, characters, logos and game effects.
