Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install mcp-tool-selection

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 weighs the complexity of the operation, the precision needed and performance trade-offs, then applies a decision matrix to pick a tool and justify the choice. It does not apply when the tool is specified by the user.
