Every KDP Niche Finder bucket as a local research database — rank niches across buckets Trigger phrases: `find a kdp niche`, `rank kdp niches`, `which book niche is rising`, `kdp niche research`, `best low-content book niche`, `use kdpnichefinder`, `run kdpnichefinder`.

What this skill does
KDP Niche Finder — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the kdpnichefinder-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: kdpnichefinder-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. KDP Niche Finder is a click-to-browse web tool that shows one curated niche bucket at a time with no history and no export. This CLI mirrors all four buckets into local SQLite so you can rank niches by opportunity across buckets (rank), see which niches are rising or fading since your last refresh (drift), spot books that appear in multiple buckets (dupes), gauge publisher saturation, and export KDP-ready CSVs — all offline and agent-native. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI when an agent or power user needs to research Amazon KDP niches programmatically: ranking opportunities across all buckets, tracking niche revenue trends over time, studying publisher competition, or exporting shortlists. It turns KDP Niche Finder's browse-only web UI into a queryable local database. Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: Do not use this CLI to generate book covers or interiors — that is Artistly's generation suite, not this niche tool. Do not use it for live Amazon BSR lookups of arbitrary ASINs — it only covers the curated KDP Niche Finder buckets. …
How to use it
