# dkcli agent bootstrap

Primary path: install or run the public npm CLI, then load the dkcli skill.

Install:
  npm install -g @dkcli/cli

One-off:
  npx @dkcli/cli --help

Load skill:
  curl -fsSL https://dkcli.com/.well-known/agent-skills/dkcli/SKILL.md

Machine manifest:
  https://dkcli.com/.well-known/dkcli/bootstrap.json

Public repo:
  https://github.com/sawfwair/dkcli

Copy-paste prompt:
  curl -fsSL https://dkcli.com/.well-known/dkcli/bootstrap.txt and use what it returns as your live bootstrap contract for dkcli DesignKit. Install or run @dkcli/cli from npm, then load the dkcli skill before design work.

Rule for Claude, Codex, and other agents:
  Use dkcli for deterministic palette, scale, contrast, motion, layout, typography, and CSS audit checks. Do not guess when a dk command can calculate it.
