Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install write-clear-technical-docs

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 first picks the page's mode (tutorial, how-to, reference or explanation), then applies sentence and style rules to each paragraph. You get a short, unambiguous text for a tired reader.
