Why this skill is useful
Adds specific commands and usage patterns for fare searching that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> Flight Goat — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the flight-goat-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: flight-goat-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 1.26.9 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. Unique Capabilities: fare search without an API key The headline commands hit consumer fare sources directly and need no credentials — do not present the CLI as AeroAPI-gated. FlightAware AeroAPI (documented below) is secondary and optional. flight-goat-pp-cli flights <origin> <destination> <date> — Google Flights fare search: real prices, legs, airlines. Round trip with --return, multi-city with repeated --segment, batch probes with repeated --trip. flight-goat-pp-cli dates <origin> <destination> — cheapest-date scan across a travel window. flight-goat-pp-cli explore <airport> / flight-goat-pp-cli longhaul <airport> — Kayak nonstop and long-haul route discovery. …
