What this skill does
Zameen — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the zameen-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: zameen-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. Zameen.com has no API and no alerts, so investors and agents refresh the same search pages by hand every day. This CLI searches with real filters (price, beds, area in Marla/Kanal, city/area), mirrors results into a local SQLite store, and diffs runs to surface new listings and price drops. Built-in comps, deals, and aging turn that store into area medians, below-market plot-file detection, and days-on-market leverage. When to Use This CLI Use this CLI to search and monitor Pakistan property listings from a terminal or an agent: parametric search across buy/rent, homes/plots/commercial; keeping a local SQLite mirror for offline comps, deals, and aging; and tracking a saved search over time for new listings and price drops. It is strongest for market research, deal-hunting (below-market plot files, aging inventory), and area comps. Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: Do not use this CLI to post, edit, or delete listings — it is read-only over Zameen's public search. …
