Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install claude-tool-use-patterns

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 writes the JSON schemas of your tools, picks the tool_choice mode and handles the results returned. It also covers parallel execution, error recovery and combining with extended thinking. You get a reliable tool-call loop.
