Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install storage-engine-design

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 compares B-tree and LSM-tree architectures on writes, reads and space, then reviews the write path, durability and concurrency control. You get a reasoned engine choice for your workload.
