See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> Surfline — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the surfline-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: surfline-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. Pulls wave, swell, wind, tide, weather, conditions and rating straight from Surfline's API over a browser-fingerprint transport that clears Cloudflare. The differentiators live in the local SQLite store: 'rank' scans a set of spots and sorts them best-first (Surfline's own comparison is web-only), 'now' collapses one spot's next hours into a paddle/no-paddle readout, 'windows' finds the daylight blocks worth surfing, and 'alert run' evaluates your own threshold rules for cron. …
