See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> DEVONthink — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the devonthink-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: devonthink-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 1.26.5 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. Use DEVONthink as the local source of truth while giving agents and scripts stable, compact CLI output. The CLI wraps the official local MCP surface, adds search scopes, inventory export, context packing, local mirrors, and safety-oriented workflow primitives. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI for local DEVONthink search, context preparation, inventory export, safe batch edits, and shell automation. Prefer it when an agent needs deterministic JSON and compact outputs instead of a GUI or raw MCP chat interaction. Let dedicated maintenance plugins own filing policy and recurring inbox triage decisions. Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: Do not use this CLI to expose DEVONthink over the public internet. …
