Install with the CLI
In a terminal, from the folder you want:
npx --yes palatekit@latest install user-needs-discoveryWith 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 loginThe agent helps you pin down who your users are and in what situation, then phrase their needs without sneaking in a solution. It picks the fitting technique (job stories, top tasks, ODI), marks each need as observed, inferred or assumed, and produces a prioritised list.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need the other "layers" skills?
Not to get work done: the skill stands alone. It mentions neighbouring skills (layers-intro, layers-product-strategy) as next steps, without depending on them.
Does the agent make the needs up?
No. The skill requires marking each need as observed, inferred or assumed, and planning how to validate assumptions.
