Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install model-routing-cost-gate

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 explicitly assigns a model and effort level to each subagent or workflow stage. Before any launch, it estimates the cost and asks for your confirmation. The /ultracost:check command verifies workflow scripts.
