Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install macos-launchservices-health-check

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 takes a snapshot of launchservicesd (memory, uptime, database size, bundle and claim counts) and reads the values. You get a diagnosis and a clear answer on whether to rebuild the database.
