Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install qdrant-horizontal-scaling-guide-2

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 compares vertical and horizontal scaling, then details a baseline distributed configuration, how to choose the shard count and how to change replication or shards. You get a starting configuration and a plan for adding nodes.
