From the README
Nothing is more valuable than time and money. In a world of AI agents, that's speed and token spend. A well-designed CLI is muscle memory for an agent: no hunting through docs, no wrong turns, no wasted tokens. The CLI Printing Press prints those CLIs. This repo is the catalog of CLIs already printed and ready to install.
337 CLIs across 20 categories.
Browse them all at printingpress.dev.
If you use OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another harness that supports agent skills, install the Printing Press Library discovery skill first. It helps your agent search the catalog, choose the right focused
pp-*skill, and defer CLI binary setup until the focused skill says it is needed.OpenClaw users can install the published skill from ClawHub:
Humans and agents on Vercel Agent Skills-compatible harnesses can install the same discovery skill from this repo:
Or from the repo root by selecting the catalog skill explicitly:
Hermes users can install it from the command line:
Once you know the specific tool you want, install the focused skill directly.
For Vercel Agent Skills-compatible harnesses:
The existing npm installer remains the right path for humans, scripts, and CLI-first setup.
The fastest way to start — install four hand-picked CLIs and skills in one command:
The
