Install

npx — recommended

npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install github-intel

Installs the CLI binary and the agent skill (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot, and more). Add --cli-only or --skill-only for one half. Requires Node.

Hermes

hermes skills install mvanhorn/printing-press-library/cli-skills/pp-github-intel --force

From the Hermes CLI. Inside a chat session use /skills install with the same path.

OpenClaw

Install the pp-github-intel skill from https://github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/tree/main/cli-skills/pp-github-intel. The skill defines how its required CLI can be installed.

Paste this to your OpenClaw agent — the skill describes how to install its CLI.

Claude Desktop

Agent Usage

This CLI is designed for AI agent consumption:

Non-interactive - never prompts, every input is a flag
Pipeable - --json output to stdout, errors to stderr
Filterable - --select id,name returns only fields you need
Previewable - --dry-run shows the request without sending
Read-only by default - this CLI does not create, update, delete, publish, send, or mutate remote resources
Offline-friendly - sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available
Agent-safe by default - no colors or formatting unless --human-friendly is set

Exit codes: 0 success, 2 usage error, 3 not found, 5 API error, 7 rate limited, 10 config error.

Health Check

github-intel-pp-cli doctor

Verifies configuration and connectivity to the API.

Configuration

Config file: ~/.config/github-current-intelligence-pp-cli/config.toml

Static request headers can be configured under headers; per-command header overrides take precedence.

Troubleshooting

Not found errors (exit code 3)

Check the resource ID is correct
Run the list command to see available items
