Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install macos-performance-triage-live

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 spots the busiest processes, attributes WindowServer load to the app driving it and profiles a process with a flame graph when needed. You get the culprit and the next steps.
