What this skill does
eRank — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the erank-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: erank-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 you need repeatable eRank Keyword Tool research from an agent or script. It is strongest for Etsy keyword decisions, tag extraction, top-listing comparisons, and tracking changes over time. Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. Seller decisions opportunity — Score a keyword as a seller opportunity using eRank stats, difficulty, competition, and current top listings. Use this when an agent needs a go/no-go read on a keyword instead of separate raw metric calls. lists optimize — Rank saved keyword lists by weak, saturated, overlapping, and missing keyword opportunities. Use this when an agent needs to clean up a seller's research list before drafting listings. saturation — Flag crowded keywords by combining competition, difficulty, tag reuse, and top-listing density. Use this to avoid chasing keywords that look popular but are too crowded to enter. Listing optimization listing gaps — Compare a draft listing title and tags against phrases and tags appearing in top eRank results. Use this before publishing or rewriting an Etsy listing from keyword evidence. …
