Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

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

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 reproduces the problem, gathers useful information, forms testable hypotheses and isolates the root cause. It also suggests profiling tools and ways to analyse memory dumps and traces.
