What this skill does
Crates Io — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the crates-io-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: crates-io-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). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead: 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. Read-only endpoints for crates.io ecosystem intelligence. When Not to Use This CLI Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis. Command Reference crates — Manage crates crates-io-pp-cli crates get — Get crate metadata crates-io-pp-cli crates search — Search crates Finding the right command When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly: which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query. Auth Setup No authentication required. Run crates-io-pp-cli doctor to verify setup. Agent Mode Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes. …
