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: thunderbird-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. Indexes your Thunderbird profile (mbox stores, address book, filters) into a local full-text store you can query while Thunderbird is running. Adds what no other Thunderbird tool has: awaiting-reply, correspondent ranking, filters audit and bulk-mail triage. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI when an agent needs to find, read, summarize or triage the user's email that Thunderbird has stored locally, without IMAP credentials. It is safe to run while Thunderbird is open and never modifies the profile. Run sync first (and again to pick up new mail): search and the audit commands read the local store, which only holds folders Thunderbird keeps for offline use. …
