Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install construction-labor-rate-calculation

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 computes the full hourly rate for each trade from wages, benefits, overhead and regional adjustments, then builds a crew cost and applies a productivity factor. You get a rate table and crew costs.
