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".

/printing-press-amend Turn a dogfood session into a PR for a printed CLI in the public library. This skill lives in this repo (the machine) and acts on a printed CLI in the public library. It is sibling to /printing-press-publish (adds a new CLI), /printing-press-polish (improves a CLI pre-publish), and /printing-press-retro (reflects on the machine itself). None of those cover post-publish CLI amendments driven by real-session friction. The artifact this skill produces is semantically a "patch" (in the git/PR sense), tracked by the public library's .printing-press-patches/ directory (one file per patch). Inline // PATCH(...) source comments are optional navigation aids when they make a customized site easier to grep. The slash-skill name is amend to disambiguate from the existing cli-printing-press patch binary subcommand (which AST-injects pre-defined features — different mechanism, different intent).
