Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install mcp-token-usage-optimization

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 reviews tool calls, shortens outputs, batches queries and adapts MCP server patterns. You get leaner usage rules for your tools.
