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".

## From README

/printing-press-reprint Regenerate an existing printed CLI under the current machine. The user gives a CLI name and (optionally) reasons for the reprint. This skill ensures the prior CLI is locally present, recommends whether to reuse or redo prior research, and hands off to /printing-press with the context the novel-features subagent needs to reconcile prior features against the current machine — keep, reframe, or drop with reasons, never silent. When to run A significant Printing Press upgrade (new MCP surface, new auth modes, new transport, scoring rubric changes) would lift this CLI more than manual polish. The published CLI ships with a known systemic gap a reprint would fix. The user wants prior novel features re-evaluated against the current machine and current personas, not carried forward verbatim. For one-off code-quality fixes, prefer /printing-press-polish — it doesn't redo research or rebuild the manuscript.
