pp-scrape-creators
Every Scrape Creators endpoint across 28 platforms, with credit-aware comment mining and a local corpus no other Scrape Creators tool has. Trigger phrases: `find which platforms a creator is on`, `pull the comments and replies from this post`, `monitor a brand's ads`, `search creator transcripts for a keyword`, `how many credits would this sweep cost`, `use scrape creators`, `run scrape-creators`.

What this skill does
Scrape Creators — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the scrape-creators-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: scrape-creators-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. The official CLI mirrors endpoints and the official skills describe curl workflows; neither remembers anything between runs. This CLI syncs profiles, posts, comments with their replies, transcripts, and ads into SQLite with FTS5 search, routes comment-thread fetches on credit economics (comments thread), audits reply completeness against ground truth (comments coverage), and gates expensive sweeps behind a pre-flight credit estimate (account estimate). When to Use This CLI Use this CLI when a task touches public social-media data at scale: mining comments and replies for a brand, qualifying creators across platforms, monitoring competitor ads, or searching transcript/comment corpora you have already synced. It is the right choice whenever credit economics matter — its thread routing, sweep budgets, and pre-flight estimates exist so agents never spend blind. …
