Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install vendor-cost-risk-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 calculates total cost of ownership, reviews the risks (dependency, security, continuity), builds a comparison matrix and prepares negotiation points. You get a reasoned recommendation.
