See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> Tella — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the tella-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: tella-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 1.26.10 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. Prepare lesson recordings with repeatable recipes and reversible transcript cuts. Keep the review step separate from export and delivery. When to Use This CLI Use for editing recorded lessons, reviewing live previews, and delivering exports with captions. Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: Recording a screen or camera directly Publishing videos without explicit approval Unique Capabilities More transcripts search — FTS5 search across cached clip transcripts; returns video and clip references with matching text snippets. videos viewed — Roll up webhook view-count milestone events into a per-video summary over a window (e.g. which videos reached 25 views in the last 7 days). …
