CLI Printing Press is a tool that creates Go command-line clients, Claude Code skills, and MCP servers for APIs and websites by studying their documentation and existing integrations. It is intended for AI agents and developers who need token-efficient command-line access to services and compound queries. The catalogue entries are skills, instructions, plugins, settings, and a hook related to using the generated tools and the press.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00005 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00003 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00001 | $0.00001 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00001 |
Grade A, and why
cli-printing-press CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
100% identical to deepseek-harness CLAUDE.md — 3 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
@AGENTS.md
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cli-printing-press CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository mvanhorn/cli-printing-press (4,615 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 5 tokens to every session, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to deepseek-harness CLAUDE.md, differing in 3 lines, and is treated as a copy.
