Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install material-substitution-finder

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 finds, in the CWICR database, materials that are functionally equivalent according to compatibility groups, cost and availability, to cover a supply shortage or reduce cost. You get a ranked list of alternatives.
