Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install tpu-gpu-node-unresponsive-diagnosis

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 confirms the heartbeat timeout, reads serial port output to spot a kernel panic or lockup, then checks auto-repair and Compute Engine system events. Recovery is a high-risk step that requires approval. You get the likely cause and the steps to follow.
