pp-granola
Every Granola feature — plus offline SQLite cross-meeting search, attendee timelines, and a MEMO pipeline runner... Trigger phrases: `memo run for today's meetings`, `what's in granola but not yet memo'd`, `every meeting we had with trevin`, `did i run the discovery recipe`, `talk time in last week's meetings`, `calendar overlay missed meetings`, `find duplicates in meeting transcripts`, `extract granola meeting`, `use granola`, `run granola`.
Why this skill is useful
Adds niche commands for managing Granola features and offline SQLite search that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
<!-- // PATCH(dual-path-store-read): the Data Paths, Auth Setup, Auto-Refresh, and Troubleshooting sections describe the two-path reality after Granola desktop moved its data-encryption key into an entitlement-gated macOS keychain group. See library/productivity/granola/.printing-press-patches/ dual-path-store-read.json and dek-migration-classified-from-state-not-version.json. --> Granola — Printing Press CLI Created by @dstevens (Damien Stevens). Contributors: @jeffreydebolt (Jeff DeBolt), @mvanhorn (Matt Van Horn), @giuseppebisemi (Giuseppe Bisemi), @cathrynlavery (Cathryn Lavery). Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the granola-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: granola-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): 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. Two Data Paths — Read This Before Running Anything Granola desktop keeps its data-encryption key in a macOS data-protection keychain group gated by an entitlement bound to Granola's own Apple Team ID. No third-party binary can read that key, so the encrypted desktop cache (cache-v6.json.enc), the SQLCipher store granola.db, and supabase.json.enc are all unreadable by this CLI on a current install. That does not leave the CLI without data. Run granola-pp-cli auth login once: the CLI signs in to Granola with its own session and syncs meetings over the API, no key and no paid workspace required. …
