mvanhorn/printing-press-amend

Amend a published CLI from one of two input sources: (1) dogfood mode mines the active Claude Code session transcript for friction (missing flags, hand- rolled API payloads, silent-null returns); (2) direct-input mode accepts user-supplied asks (rename a command, add commands or feeds, fix a named bug, optionally sniff the source site for new endpoints). Confirms scope with the user, plans + executes the fix autonomously, scrubs PII, and opens a PR against mvanhorn/printing-press-library. Two user-in-loop checkpoints: scope after capture, PR draft before open. Trigger phrases: "amend the CLI", "submit a patch", "fix what I just dogfooded", "open a PR for this CLI", "patch this CLI", "add features to my CLI", "rename this command", "add these feeds to <cli>", "sniff for new APIs in <cli>", "amend with these ideas", "use printing-press-amend", "run printing-press-amend".

Individual skills in this repo

This repo contains 9 individual skills — each has its own dedicated page.

mvanhorn/printing-press

Generate a ship-ready CLI for an API with a lean research -> generate -> build -> shipcheck loop.

mvanhorn/printing-press-catalog

Browse and install pre-built Go CLIs for popular APIs from the catalog

mvanhorn/printing-press-import

Bring a published CLI from the public library into the internal library so it's identical to a freshly-generated copy — module path reverted, manuscripts placed alongside, ready for /printing-press-polish or /printing-press-emboss. Use when the public library has a CLI you don't have locally, or to recover from a broken/lost internal copy. Trigger phrases: "import the CLI", "bring it into my library", "fetch from public library", "I don't have it locally yet".

mvanhorn/printing-press-output-review

Internal sub-skill: agentic review of a printed CLI's sampled command output for plausibility issues that rule-based checks can't encode (substring-match relevance, format bugs, silent source drops, ranking failures). Invoked via the Skill tool by main printing-press SKILL.md (Phase 4.85) and printing-press-polish SKILL.md during the diagnostic loop. Not for direct user invocation — its actionable wrappers are /printing-press and /printing-press-polish.

mvanhorn/printing-press-polish

Polish a generated CLI to pass verification and become publish-ready. Runs diagnostics (dogfood, verify, scorecard, go vet, gosec), automatically fixes all issues (verify failures, static-analysis findings, dead code, descriptions, README, MCP tool quality), reports the before/after delta, and offers to publish. Use after any /printing-press run, or on any CLI in $PRESS_LIBRARY/. Trigger phrases: "polish", "improve the CLI", "fix verify", "make it publish-ready", "clean up the CLI", "get this ready to ship".

mvanhorn/printing-press-publish

Publish a generated CLI to the printing-press-library repo

mvanhorn/printing-press-reprint

Regenerate an existing printed CLI from scratch under the current Printing Press, with prior research, prior novel features, and prior patches (post-publish hand-fixes) carried into the writing pipeline as reconciliation context rather than dropped on the floor. Pulls the CLI from the public library if it isn't local, recommends reuse-vs-redo of prior research based on age, then hands off to /printing-press with the right context. Use when a machine upgrade would benefit a published CLI more than manual polish. Trigger phrases: "reprint <api>", "regenerate <api>", "redo the <api> CLI", "rebuild <api> from scratch", "this CLI would benefit from a reprint".

mvanhorn/printing-press-retro

Run a retrospective after generating a CLI. Identifies systemic improvements to the Printing Press — templates, Go binary, skill instructions, catalog — so the next CLI comes out better. Creates a GitHub issue with actionable findings when there are Printing Press fixes to make. Use after any /printing-press run. Trigger phrases: "retro", "retrospective", "what went wrong", "improve the press", "post-mortem", "lessons learned", "what can we improve", "file a retro", "submit findings".

mvanhorn/printing-press-score

Score a generated CLI against the Steinberger bar, compare two CLIs side-by-side
