Printing Press Library

Use this skill when a user asks for a CLI, agent skill, API wrapper, scraper, automation tool, or data source that may exist in the Printing Press Library.

The library is an open-source catalog of focused CLIs and matching agent skills generated from mvanhorn/cli-printing-press. This skill is the catalog front door. Do not install a random long-tail skill just because it exists. First identify the right tool, then install the focused skill or CLI only when it is useful for the task.

Default workflow

1. Clarify the user goal only if needed.

   • If the request names a service or website, search for that directly.
   • If the request describes a job instead of a service, search by capability and domain.
   • If the user's agent already has a safe built-in tool that solves the job, prefer that over installing another CLI.

2. Search the catalog with the library CLI first.

   • Use npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library search <keyword> for human-readable result cards.
   • Use npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library search <keyword> --json for agent-friendly parsing.
   • Use npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library list --category <category> --json when the category is known.
   • Each search result includes the canonical install command for that tool.
   • Fall back to the GitHub repo or local clone only when npx is unavailable or deeper inspection is needed.
