pp-inaturalist
Explore iNaturalist's full API, plus privacy-safe field briefings and identification progress that ordinary endpoint wrappers miss. Trigger phrases: `what wildlife is nearby`, `make a nature scavenger hunt`, `did my iNaturalist observations get identified`, `compare wildlife seasons nearby`, `use iNaturalist`, `run iNaturalist`.

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: inaturalist-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 1.26.5 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. Use nearby highlights and seasonal-shift for transparent, bounded biodiversity briefings. Create factual scavenger hunts from real taxa, and use identification commands to track whether observations gained community IDs without exposing locations. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI for bounded iNaturalist discovery, taxon research, safe nearby field briefings, and observation-identification progress. Prefer it when raw endpoint data needs agent-shaped output or a local history, and use its exact privacy labels rather than trying to infer a more precise location. Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: Do not use this CLI to recover, infer, or share obscured/private observation coordinates. …
