Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install task-breakdown-dependency-plan

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 maps the dependency graph, slices each task vertically, then writes the tasks with their acceptance criteria and checkpoints. It sizes each task for one work session. You get a plan that you or an agent can run in order.
