Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install product-trade-off-evaluation

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 picks the right decision framework, models the return on investment against the operating cost, then helps you present the trade-off to leadership. You get a build-or-buy analysis, a tech debt assessment and a decision note.
