pp-pointhound
Every Pointhound flight search, plus a local SQLite of every deal you've ever seen, balance-aware reachability, and... Trigger phrases: `find award flight`, `redeem credit card points for flight`, `pointhound search`, `where can I fly with my points`, `check pointhound for new deals`, `use pointhound`, `run pointhound`.

<!-- GENERATED FILE — DO NOT EDIT. This file is a verbatim mirror of library/travel/pointhound/SKILL.md, regenerated post-merge by tools/generate-skills/.

See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> Pointhound — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the pointhound-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: pointhound-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. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI whenever you need to compound award-search work: comparing multiple routes, tracking deals over time, asking balance-aware questions, or wiring Pointhound into a daily cron. The web UI is fine for one-off searches but loses everything when you close the tab; this CLI keeps every snapshot in a local SQLite for SQL queries, drift detection, and cross-route ranking. When Not to Use This CLI Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis. Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. …
