Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install openrouter-budget-cost-controls

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 creates keys with a credit limit, adds middleware that blocks calls beyond the budget and prepares spend alerts. You get per-request cost tracking and a cost dashboard.
