Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install open-cost-database-estimating

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 loads an open work-item database, matches project elements to standard items through semantic search, then calculates costs from public unit prices. You get a costed estimate and the matches used.
