pp-hostex
Every Hostex v3 operation, plus a local SQLite mirror that answers cross-property questions no single Hostex call can — occupancy gaps, revenue rollups, and guest-message SLA, offline. Trigger phrases: `check my Hostex reservations`, `which guests check in this week`, `update listing prices on Hostex`, `reply to a guest message`, `revenue by property this month`, `use hostex`, `run hostex`.

See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> Hostex — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the hostex-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: hostex-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 1.26.4 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. Hostex has a REST API and an official MCP server but no first-class CLI. This one mirrors all 86 endpoints as typed commands with --json/--select/--dry-run, then syncs reservations, properties, listings, conversations, reviews, tasks and transactions into local SQLite so you can run joins the API can't: which occupied stays have no cleaning task, revenue by property this month, threads unanswered past your SLA, and price-parity gaps across channels. It gets the tricky Hostex plumbing right once: every response is HTTP 200 with errorcode in the body, and the multi-layer rate limits return Retry-After. …
