Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install stuck-problem-solving-dispatch

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 identifies the nature of the block, such as special cases piling up or no approach fitting, then points to the technique that fits. You get a clear direction instead of random attempts.
