Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install write-understated-analytical-essays

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 studies excerpts, then writes in the manner of the voice (flat delivery, matter-of-fact contrarianism, decisive asides) without reusing the author's content. You get prose that is economical with emphasis and lets readers reach their own conclusions.
