Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install find-similar-symbols-before-coding

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 builds queries from the intended behavior, runs truffler to find nearby symbols, then inspects the code before deciding whether to reuse or extend a function. It produces a short reuse report.
