pp-walkingpad
The standalone CLI for WalkingPad treadmills — drive the belt over Bluetooth LE and keep a permanent local history of every walk the belt forgets on power-cut. Trigger phrases: `start my walkingpad`, `how far have I walked today`, `what's my walking streak`, `walking trends this week`, `estimate my walking calories`, `log my walk to Apple Health`, `run the treadmill at 2 km/h`, `use walkingpad`, `run walkingpad`.
Why this skill is useful
Adds executable commands for controlling WalkingPad treadmills and managing local walking history that aren't available elsewhere.
What it needs

See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> WalkingPad — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the walkingpad-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: walkingpad-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 whenever an agent or script needs to inspect a WalkingPad's recorded walk history, compute streaks/trends/calories, or drive a physical belt from a laptop instead of the phone app. It is ideal for "how far did I walk today / this week", consecutive-day streak tracking, calorie estimates the belt won't report, exporting walks to Apple Health, and — on a live build — starting, holding, and stopping the belt over a reliable held BLE connection. The MCP surface mirrors the read and history/analytics commands so an agent can answer walking questions without the phone app. Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this device. Local history & analytics The belt loses its run memory on power-cut. …
