What this skill does
SpotHero - Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the spothero-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: spothero-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 1.26.10 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. SpotHero only offers an API to business partners. This CLI uses the same consumer endpoints as spothero.com, signs in from your Chrome session, and adds what a web checkout lacks for agents: preflight checks, --max-total spend caps, and explicit gates on anything that charges or refunds. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI to search SpotHero parking, quote a garage, check upcoming reservations and refund status, and, only with the owner's explicit approval for that exact booking or cancellation, to book or cancel. Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: Do not use for monthly parking subscriptions; book and cancel cover hourly reservations Do not use the partner X-API-Key API with this CLI Do not book or cancel from an inferred request; the owner must approve that exact action Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. Decide faster best: Get one ranked parking pick plus alternatives for a place and time window. Reach for this when asked to pick a garage rather than list them. …
