Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install stuck-problem-solving-dispatch-2

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 symptom of the block, such as growing complexity or a conventional approach that falls short, then points to the matching technique and combines several if needed. You save time on which method to follow.
