Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install task-sharpening-before-start

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

Before running a request, the agent works out how a top expert would approach it, what you actually want, and whether the task is over- or under-specified. It keeps one outside check of the result and does the work without handing back a rewritten prompt.
