Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install systematic-debugging-method

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 gathers symptoms, compares with working code, tests one hypothesis at a time and proposes a fix only once the cause is found. You get a justified fix and a bug that does not come back.
