pp-shipsgo
Every ShipsGo endpoint, plus an RFQ workspace, lane analytics, and an offline shipment book no other tool offers. Trigger phrases: `compare carriers on this RFQ`, `show my freight shipment book`, `check ETA drift this morning`, `score COSCO on Shanghai to LA`, `track this container`, `use shipsgo`, `run shipsgo`.

What this skill does
ShipsGo — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the shipsgo-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: 2. Verify: shipsgo-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure $GOPATH/bin (or $HOME/go/bin) is on $PATH. 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 install step did not put the binary on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. shipsgo wraps the full ShipsGo v2 API (ocean + air, 16 endpoints, all CRUD verbs) and layers on top a freight-RFQ workflow that lives entirely in your local SQLite store. Use rfq compare to score carriers against your own shipment history, eta-drift to catch slipping voyages before customers do, and credit-budget to never burn a free-tier credit on a duplicate container. When to Use This CLI Use shipsgo whenever an agent is asked to evaluate, monitor, or report on freight shipments tracked through ShipsGo. It is the right tool for RFQ comparison (carrier scoring on real shipment history), ETA drift watches, port/lane analytics, and unified ocean+air shipment views. It is NOT the right tool for booking new shipments with carriers (use a TMS) or for parcel/last-mile shipping (use Shippo or ShipEngine). Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. RFQ workflow rfq new — Create, populate, and inspect an RFQ workspace that groups multiple tracked shipments under one quote slug. Reach for this when an agent needs to evaluate a freight quote against actual shipments — the RFQ slug becomes the join key for compare, digest, and follower fan-out. rfq compare — For one RFQ slug, group its shipments by carrier and emit mean actual transit days, ETA-vs-actual delta, and shipment count. …
