What this skill does
Drug Enforcement — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the drug-enforcement-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: drug-enforcement-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 keyless CLI over the openFDA drug enforcement endpoint. The check, firm, recent, and reference commands wrap FDA recall search with pre-built queries; every result cites the recall number, prints the FDA class legend, and carries an enforcement-not-medical-advice disclaimer. A drug with no recall is reported as 'no recall records found', never as safe. 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.

Reach for this when an agent needs the recall status of a specific medication by name. firm — List every recall attributed to a recalling firm or manufacturer. …
