Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install trace-bugs-to-root-cause

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 follows the chain of calls from the error to its original trigger, checking assumptions at each step. You get a fix placed at the source, with detailed tracing techniques.
