Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install systematic-root-cause-debugging-3

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 stops adding features, reproduces the error, localises it, for example with an isolated test or a search for the commit that introduced it, then fixes the root cause. It follows a checklist for test failures, build errors and reported bugs. You get a justified fix, not a guess.
