printing-press

Set up a new integration, connector, or CLI binding for any API. Wrap or generate a ship-ready Go CLI from an OpenAPI, HAR, or Postman spec via the lean research -> generate -> build -> shipcheck loop. Use when the user says build a CLI, wrap this API, set up a new integration, add a connector, inte

/printing press Result: A working Go CLI in $PRESS LIBRARY/<api slug / , plus up to five dense manuscripts archived to $PRESS MANUSCRIPTS/<api slug /<run id / : research brief, absorb manifest, build log, shipcheck proof, and live smoke proof when live testing ran. Next consumer: The user, who runs the CLI or ships it, and the sibling skills that take it from here: printing press polish for a second pass, printing press publish for the public library, printing press retro for findings against the Press itself. Done: Every feature approved at the absorb gate is implemented, shipcheck reached ship, the live dogfood matrix ran against real targets, the CLI is promoted, and the receipt ledger closes on the last phase. Intent: The best useful CLI for an API without an hour of phase theater. Optimize for time to ship, not time to document: reuse prior research when it is already good enough, run the cheap high signal checks early, fix blockers before polish. Boundaries Never leak a secret. API key values , token values , passwords, and session cookies must never reach source, manuscripts, proofs, READMEs, HARs, receipts, or anything committed. Env var names and placeholders are safe. Phase 5.6 and publish apply [references/secret protection.md](references/secret protection.md). Never ship untested. go build and verify pass rate are structural signals, not correctness signals. A CLI that has not been through the live matrix in [phases/18 dogfood testing.md](phases/18 dogfood testing.md) is not shippable, and a bug a 1 3 file edit resolves is fixed now, not filed for v0.2. Never quote human time estimates for sub tasks ("~15 30 min", "quick fix"). The agent does the work, not the user; describe scope instead. The carve outs are the genuinely time bound: the whole run (30 60 minutes), tool installs, and the network bound printing press subcommands. Never sequence from memory. The receipt ledger decides which phase comes next; see [references/phase receipts.md](references/phase receipts.md). Authority Invocation authorizes reading and writing under $PRESS RUNSTATE/ , $PRESS LIBRARY/ , and $PRESS MANUSCRIPTS/ , running the printing press binary and the Go toolchain, and researching the API on the open web. It does not authorize publishing to the public library, opening a pull request, or writing anywhere else on the user's machine. Steps Enter [phases/01 preflight.md](phases/01 preflight.md) before any user facing prompt, then read [references/run resolution.md](references/run resolution.md): it resolves the API target, the briefing context, and the source priority for combo runs. Never execute a phase from memory. When you enter a phase, Read its file from phases/ first.
