Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install terminal-app-headless-testing

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 opens a named session, types commands, waits for the right screen and captures the output as text or PNG. It can also write e2e tests for the Cline TUI.
