See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> Serply — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the serply-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: serply-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). 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. Nine Serply search verticals as typed commands and MCP tools, with per-country proxies and device emulation on each. On top, rank finds a domain's position for a query, serp diff reports what moved since the last run, and research merges web, news and scholar results into one cited brief. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI when an agent or script needs live search engine results: Google web, News, Scholar, Images, Video, Jobs, Shopping, Maps, or Bing. It fits grounding answers in current sources, checking where a site ranks from a given country, and watching a results page for changes over time. Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: Do not use it to read the full text of a page; it returns result titles, links and snippets. …
