Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install token-efficient-code-retrieval

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 indexes the repository once, then queries symbols, functions, classes and methods to retrieve only the exact implementation. The skill claims a reduction of more than 95% in token use when reading code.
