Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install agent-vs-rag-design-choice

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 asks one question at a time to set the objective, evaluation criteria, failure diagnosis and the chosen adaptation path. You get docs/specs/agent-design.md, with no implementation code.
