Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install msbuild-troubleshooting-performance

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 identifies the request type (troubleshooting, performance or build file review), then reads only the relevant references. It relies on available evidence, such as a binary log (binlog), to analyse a failure or slowdown. It does not cover SDK-style migration or framework upgrades.
