What this skill does
Zillow — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the zillow-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: zillow-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. Sync public Zillow Research time series, compare regions, and build sourced affordability, supply, demand, negotiation, and relocation analysis. Core commands never scrape Zillow.com; optional Bridge requests remain separately authorized and uncached. High-value workflows Use --agent for JSON, compact output, and non-interactive behavior. Core commands use 17 public Zillow Research CSV datasets and require no authentication. They never scrape Zillow.com or automate consumer pages. Bridge is separate and optional. Use only with an approved BRIDGEACCESSTOKEN: Bridge responses are never cached. Never put its token in command arguments, URLs, notes, or output. 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. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis. Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. …
