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, integrate with a service, or names an API by domain.

/printing-press Generate the best useful CLI for an API without burning an hour on phase theater. What Changed In v2 The old skill inflated the path to ship: too many mandatory research documents before code existed too many separate late-stage validation phases after code existed too many chances to discover obvious failures late This version uses one lean loop: Resolve the spec and write one research brief Generate Build the highest-value gaps Run one shipcheck block Optionally run live API smoke tests Artifacts are still written, but only the ones that materially help the next step. Modes Default Normal mode. Claude does research, generation orchestration, implementation, and verification. Codex Mode If the arguments include codex or --codex, offload pure code-writing tasks to Codex CLI.
