Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install devtools-business-model

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 reviews possible models (proprietary SaaS, open core, hosting, support, dual licensing, consumption and others), runs a paid-boundary test and prices the go-to-market each one forces. You get a decision memo with rejected models and the reason for each.
