Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install test-failed-assumption-before-fixing

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 down the premise shared by the failed attempts, looks for an observation that would come out differently if it were false, then measures it. This avoids a third fix built on the same error.
