Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install story-outline-architecture

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 works before writing: it proposes directions, records brainstorm ideas, then organises the story into arcs, chapters and scenes with their beats. It also helps develop characters, timeline and worldbuilding. You get a story outline ready to be drafted.
