See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> Product Hunt — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the producthunt-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: producthunt-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 Pick this CLI when an agent or script needs Product Hunt data — daily launch leaderboards, topic-vertical scouting, individual launch detail with comments, or aggregated trajectories that PH's own UI never exposes. The local SQLite store and GraphQL fall-through mean repeated queries stay cheap; the no-auth feed tier means the CLI is useful before the user has even configured a key. Indie founders launching this week reach for the launch-day cockpit (launch-day, benchmark, trajectory, questions, compare); marketers doing competitive research reach for the marketer research desk (category snapshot, posts grep, lookalike, launches calendar). …
