Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install agent-tool-design

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 helps you design the tools exposed to a model: consolidation, precise descriptions, lean response formats and actionable error messages. It also helps debug misused calls and trim an overly large tool set.
