Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install streamlit-architecture-overview

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 explains how a Streamlit command travels through the backend, the ForwardMsg and BackMsg protocol and then the frontend, and locates the relevant code. You get a mental model and a reading plan for debugging or changing a feature.
