Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install open-source-alternatives-finder

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 paid tool, then queries GitHub, awesome-selfhosted lists and developer communities in parallel. It checks the activity of each candidate and writes a comparison of what you gain and lose by switching. The TinyFish CLI must be installed and authenticated first.
