Agent-native Parallel web research with a local SQLite memory no other Parallel CLI keeps. Trigger phrases: `search the web with Parallel`, `Parallel deep research`, `FindAll companies with Parallel`, `check Parallel balance`, `use parallel`, `run parallel-pp-cli`.

What this skill does
Parallel — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the parallel-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: parallel-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. Search, extract, deep research, FindAll, monitors, and Account balance/apps/keys in one Go binary. Session stitch, research recall, and monitor digests compound every run into offline memory. Product API key auth stays separate from Account OAuth so headline search never requires a dashboard login. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI for agent-native Parallel web research loops, offline recall of past searches/runs, FindAll-to-enrichment pipelines, monitor digests, and dual-auth Account admin. Prefer official parallel-cli when you need its YAML enrich planner or DuckDB/BigQuery deploy integrations. Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: Do not use this CLI as a general web browser or scraper outside Parallel APIs Do not use Account balance add for large unattended spends without reviewing idempotency keys Do not prefer this over Parallel Search MCP for one-off free anonymous search experiments Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. …
