Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install azure-spend-investigation

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 queries the real costs of your subscription, finds the most expensive resources and explains changes, including Cosmos DB charges, Foundry model costs and AKS namespace costs. It does not forecast; you get a detailed cost breakdown.
