Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install vertical-slice-validation

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 frames the validation question, plans the build, implements the slice, then prepares the playtest debrief. It adds the creative director review. You get a vertical slice report and next steps.
