pp-digg
Tail Digg's news cycle, GitHub feeds, and pipeline events from the terminal — read-only, with rank-history nobody else surfaces. Trigger phrases: `what's trending on Digg`, `digg top stories`, `digg github stars`, `digg github recent`, `what climbed the AI news rankings`, `digg leaderboard`, `what got replaced on Digg`, `tail the Digg pipeline`, `use digg`, `run digg-pp-cli`.
Why this skill is useful
Adds specific commands and workflows for accessing Digg's API that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Digg — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the digg-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: digg-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 Use this CLI when an agent or power user needs structured access to Digg's rankings, ranking-change history, pipeline events, per-cluster transparency record, or the GitHub feeds. It is the right tool for tracking AI-news cycle movement, building cross-aggregator research over HN+Techmeme+Digg, watching new AI repos the moment they're starred by tracked accounts, or exposing Digg signals into a larger automation. Do NOT use it for vote, comment, or post automation — those mutations are explicitly out of scope. 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. Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. Topic search and per-post citations search — Topic search across Digg's full window. …
How to use it
Reference it in AdaL, Claude Code, Cursor or any coding agent — nothing to install:
