Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install terse-spec-writing-encoding

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 writes SPEC.md and related text in a condensed style: unneeded articles and filler removed, symbols in place of some words, exact terms kept. Code, error strings, commit messages and PR descriptions stay unchanged. You get shorter specs without losing precision.
