Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install free-marketing-tools-strategy

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 starts from your business and the problems your audience searches for on Google, then scores your idea with an eight-factor scorecard. It compares building, using a no-code tool or embedding an existing one, and scopes a minimum viable tool. You get a reasoned recommendation and a plan to capture emails.

Frequently asked questions

Does the skill build the tool?

No, it helps you choose and scope the idea. The build is done afterwards with your coding agent or a no-code tool.

Do I need other skills?

No. It names neighbouring skills (lead-magnets, cro, seo-audit) as pointers for next steps, but it works alone.
