pp-bento
Every Bento feature, plus the ones their own CLI does not have. Trigger phrases: `import this list to Bento`, `scrub these emails before sending`, `show my Bento subscribers`, `build a win-back cohort`, `preview this Bento broadcast`, `sync Bento`, `use bento`, `run bento`.
Why this skill is useful
Adds multiple executable commands for the bento-pp-cli that enhance data hygiene, sync integrity, and integration with Vendure, which are not available in public documentation.
What it needs
Requires bento-pp-cli installed locally. About 10k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-06. 1,890 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
Bento — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the bento-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows: 2. Verify: bento-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer): If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. When to Use This CLI Reach for bento-pp-cli when you need a fast offline view over your Bento account (FTS, JOINs, cohort builds), when you're scripting CI/CD imports, when you need transactional send from a Go process without dragging in Node, or when you're bridging Vendure / non-native ecom platforms to Bento via webhook + $purchase events. Pair with Claude Desktop / Cursor via MCP for natural-language access to every command. Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. Sync Integrity sync diff — Show exactly which subscribers, tags, fields, or templates changed between two local snapshots since Bento has no since filter. Use this when you need to detect drift between Bento and your local source of truth, or audit what changed since the last sync. tags drift — Surface tags whose subscriber counts swung more than N% week-over-week, catching misfiring workflows. Run weekly to catch silently-broken automations adding or removing tags unexpectedly. List Hygiene hygiene scrub — Run validation + jessesruleset + blacklist + contentmoderation in one pass and emit a clean CSV plus a rejected CSV with reasons. …
