Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install terse-answer-mode

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 does the task, gives the result and stops, without an introduction or commentary on what it is doing. You get shorter answers, with planned exceptions for explanations and destructive actions.
