Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install geospatial-tool-selection-guide

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 classifies your need (distance, containment, proximity, routing, area), points to the right tool, Turf.js or Mapbox APIs, and weighs accuracy and data volume. You get a reasoned recommendation for each operation.
