## From README

ESPN — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: the CLI This skill drives the espn-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, it first: via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\\Programs\\PrintingPress\\bin on Windows: Verify: espn-pp-cli --version Ensure the reported directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer): If --version reports "command not found" after , the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. When to Use This CLI Reach for this when a user wants a quick sports lookup - current score, standings, upcoming schedule, head-to-head record, or a rich per-game summary (box score, leaders, scoring plays, odds, win probability).
