pp-crestron
Every Crestron product, spec sheet, and firmware release — searchable offline, with fleet-wide currency checks the website cannot do. Trigger phrases: `what firmware is current for DM-NVX`, `find the spec sheet for a Crestron model`, `is this Crestron part discontinued`, `what changed in the latest Crestron firmware`, `compare two Crestron models`, `build a Crestron submittal package`, `use crestron`, `run crestron`.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a CLI tool that provides offline access to Crestron product specifications, firmware history, and fleet management capabilities not available through public APIs.
What it needs
Requires crestron-pp-cli installed locally. About 11k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-06. 1,890 stars on the source repository.

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: crestron-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. Crestron.com has no public API and no way to ask a question across more than one product at a time. This CLI mirrors the product catalog, the documentation library, and the firmware release history into local SQLite, then answers the questions integrators actually have: what firmware covers my installed models, what changed between two versions, which parts are discontinued and what replaced them. Sign in and it also unlocks release notes and firmware downloads. …
How to use it
Reference it in AdaL, Claude Code, Cursor or any coding agent — nothing to install:
