What this skill does
Product Hunt — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the producthunt-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: producthunt-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 Pick this CLI when an agent or script needs Product Hunt data — daily launch leaderboards, topic-vertical scouting, individual launch detail with comments, or aggregated trajectories that PH's own UI never exposes. The local SQLite store and GraphQL fall-through mean repeated queries stay cheap; the no-auth feed tier means the CLI is useful before the user has even configured a key. Indie founders launching this week reach for the launch-day cockpit (launch-day, benchmark, trajectory, questions, compare); marketers doing competitive research reach for the marketer research desk (category snapshot, posts grep, lookalike, launches calendar). 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. …
