See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> Google Play — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the google-play-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: google-play-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. Pull app details, top charts, search, reviews, similar apps, developer portfolios, permissions, and data safety from the public Play Store with no API key. Then go further than any existing scraper: snapshot charts and listings into a local database so 'movers', 'rank-history', 'keyword-history', and 'watch-listing' can answer week-over-week questions Google never exposes and commercial tools paywall. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI when you need structured, scriptable Google Play Store data without an API key: profiling an app and its competitive set, tracking chart and keyword rank over time, detecting listing changes, or mining reviews. …
