See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> Airbnb — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the airbnb-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: airbnb-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 Reach for this CLI when an agent or user names an Airbnb listing URL, asks about Airbnb fees or direct-booking savings, mentions 'book direct,' or wants to plan a trip across listings. The cheapest command is the headline; plan and compare extend it. The local store accumulates listings, hosts, and price history across sessions, so re-running queries gets faster and richer over time. 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. …
