pp-dnsmadeeasy
Every DNS Made Easy operation, plus a local record store that makes cross-zone search, drift detection, and 'where is this IP used' instant and offline. Trigger phrases: `where is this IP used in DNS Made Easy`, `export my DNS Made Easy zone`, `what DNS records changed`, `bulk update DNS records across zones`, `audit my DNS zones`, `use dnsmadeeasy`, `run dnsmadeeasy`.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a CLI tool for managing DNS Made Easy with unique commands for drift detection and cross-zone searches that aren't available in public documentation.

See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> DNS Made Easy — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the dnsmadeeasy-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: dnsmadeeasy-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. A single Go binary for the DNS Made Easy V2.0 API: managed and secondary DNS, records, templates, folders, and failover — all with agent-native --json/--select output. Once synced, a local SQLite mirror of your whole account powers commands no incumbent has: where-used across every zone, drift between snapshots, BIND export, and dry-run bulk changes. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI to manage DNS Made Easy zones and records from scripts or agents, and especially to answer account-wide questions the web UI and thin API wrappers can't: where an IP or hostname is used across every zone, what changed since the last sync, and which zones fail DNS hygiene. …
