Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install cypher-query-performance-tuning

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 reads EXPLAIN and PROFILE output, spots bad operators (AllNodesScan, CartesianProduct, Eager), checks indexes, then proposes an index, a USING hint or a rewrite. It also monitors running queries with SHOW QUERIES and SHOW TRANSACTIONS. You get a diagnosis and a corrected query to measure.
