See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> Slickdeals — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the slickdeals-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: slickdeals-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 when you need agent-native access to Slickdeals data — hot deals, frontpage feed, coupons, category browsing, and local deal-tracking over time. The v0.2 release expands beyond v0.1's Nuxt endpoint wrapping: it adds an RSS surface for live frontpage data and a local SQLite snapshot store so agents can track deal velocity, run compound queries, and generate merchant analytics entirely offline. Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. hot — Top live frontpage deals filtered by min-thumbs, sorted thumbs DESC. frontpage-fresh — Live unfiltered frontpage RSS feed (today's drops). popular — Slickdeals "Popular Deals" feed (community-voted, distinct from editor-curated frontpage). …
