pp-snipd
Turn your Snipd snips into a local, ranked, full-text-searchable corpus — search a concept across every note, quote, and transcript, pull the exact quote, and synthesize across shows from the command line, plus an MCP for agents. Trigger phrases: `search my snips`, `what did I snip about`, `find the quote about`, `synthesize my podcast highlights`, `snips per show`, `use snipd`, `run snipd`.

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: snipd-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. Your snips are trapped in a mobile app. This CLI pulls them into a local SQLite mirror with a full-text index, then lets you search, quote, filter, and aggregate them in kilobytes instead of scrolling an app. The same commands are exposed as MCP tools so an agent can reason over your own listening. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI when you want to search, quote, or synthesize across your own Snipd snips — a concept across every transcript, the exact pull-quote for a claim, or a rolled-up view of what you have been snipping. It is ideal as an agent tool: the MCP surface returns compact ranked rows so an assistant can cite your podcast highlights without opening the app. …
