Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install sentry-signal-choice-guide

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 applies a decision table to choose between error, span, span attribute, log and metric, then explains where to place them. It also covers when to filter and when to sample. SDKs are configured with the dedicated skills.
