Detroit's official \"Inside the D\" blog as a CLI: offline full-text search, cross-axis filtering by category and neighborhood, related reads, and reading-list exports. Trigger phrases: `what should I do in Detroit`, `Detroit dining articles in Corktown`, `best things to do in Greektown`, `read the Detroit donuts article`, `recent Inside the D blog posts`, `use visit-detroit-blog`, `run visit-detroit-blog`.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a CLI tool with unique commands for querying Detroit's travel blog that aren't available elsewhere, enabling offline access and advanced filtering.

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: visit-detroit-blog-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): 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. When to Use This CLI Reach for this CLI when an agent or user needs Detroit travel and editorial recommendations grounded in Visit Detroit's official blog: finding articles by neighborhood and topic together, reading full article bodies offline, discovering related reads, or assembling a shareable reading list. It is the right tool for 'what should I do, eat, or see in <Detroit neighborhood>' questions and for separating editorial from sponsored content. It is not a hotel/restaurant directory — it is the editorial blog. When Not to Use This CLI Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. …
