What this skill does
TicketData — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the ticketdata-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: ticketdata-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. TicketData tracks each event's get-in price (the lowest all-in resale price across marketplaces), its full price history, a forecast, and 3/7/14/30-day change. This CLI exposes all of it as scriptable, agent-native JSON and keeps the raw price series in local SQLite, so stats can compute historical lows and volatility, drift can alert when a floor drops to your target, board can rank your whole watchlist, and compare can pick the cheapest date, none of which the website surfaces. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI when you need TicketData's get-in price, price history, forecast, or N-day change for specific events, performers, or venues, and especially when you want to track a set of events over time, compute historical price stats, alert on price drops, or compare events, all offline and scriptable. It is ideal for agents answering 'is this ticket cheap right now', 'when should I buy', or 'which of these dates is cheapest'. Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: Do not use this CLI to buy, sell, or list tickets; TicketData is a price tracker, not a marketplace. …
