Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install unfamiliar-codebase-navigator

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 a mission cycle: briefing, reconnaissance, plan, execution, verification and debrief. It assumes nothing, flags what it does not know and records its findings in a .notebook/ folder that grows across sessions. You get a fix or an explanation backed by evidence.
