Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install unfinished-task-engagement

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 reviews steps, drafts and resumption points so users return to an interrupted task. It also flags where that tension becomes a problem. You get recommendations on progress and re-engagement.
