What this skill does
Placeit — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the placeit-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: placeit-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. Placeit has no public API, no bulk search, and no offline catalog. This CLI mirrors the entire Algolia-indexed catalog into a local SQLite database, then layers on commands no Placeit tool has: rank results by actual purchase count (top), filter Printify-ready mockups for a POD pipeline (pod), assemble matched Twitch kits (kit), and cross-tabulate the catalog's tag facets (gaps). Search and browse need no login; account and saved-templates use your Placeit session. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI to search, filter, and analyze Placeit's template catalog programmatically: finding the best-selling or Printify-ready mockups for a product line, assembling matched streamer kits, or auditing catalog coverage across tag facets. It is ideal for print-on-demand sellers, streamers, and social-media managers who batch-produce assets and want scriptable, offline-cacheable catalog access. …
