Every Discogs feature — plus a local price-history mirror the API doesn't keep, so you can watch your wantlist like a limit-order book, spot underpriced records, and track your collection's value over time. Trigger phrases: `check my discogs wantlist for deals`, `what records should I sell`, `value my vinyl collection`, `price suggestions for this release`, `identify this pressing by catalog number`, `is this record undervalued`, `use discogs`, `run discogs`.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a CLI tool that provides unique capabilities for tracking Discogs price history and managing collections, which the AI cannot generate on its own.

What this skill does
Discogs — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the discogs-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: discogs-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. A single Go binary over the full Discogs API — database, collection, wantlist, and marketplace — with an offline SQLite mirror and an MCP server. Because Discogs keeps no price history, this CLI snapshots prices locally, which unlocks fills (wantlist limit orders), undervalued detection, portfolio value over time, and condition-matched comps that no other Discogs tool offers. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI when an agent or script needs to work with Discogs data programmatically: searching the database, managing a collection or wantlist, pricing or listing records on the marketplace, or answering value/deal questions that need price history. It is the right tool when the task benefits from a local mirror, structured JSON output, or repeated queries under the rate limit. …
