cli

A fixture skill for a command-line tool from the mvanhorn/cli-printing-press project. It documents a local command that can report account health and says not to use it for changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect local account health with the tool's health command.
Why use it?
It tells an agent which local status check is available and prevents it from treating this command-line tool as a write interface.

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.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

cli 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Fixture Skill

When Not to Use This CLI

Do not use it for writes.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Local state

  • health — Summarize account health from local state.

    Agents can inspect health in one command

    fixture-pp-cli health --agent
    

Command Reference

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository mvanhorn/cli-printing-press (4,601 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 92 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

foundry-lens

Runs a multi-pass research method that deliberately catches its own blind spots — a shallow first pass, a forced structural self-diagnosis, then corrected and inverted passes. Use when mapping a product's full feature set, tearing down a competitor, doing exhaustive documentation research, or any time a first answer…

foundry-capture

Guides the user through capturing an app's network traffic on Android, iOS, desktop, or web, and exporting it as HAR for analysis. Use when a teardown needs network evidence, when the user asks how to see what an app is talking to, or when intake reports network-surface as missing. Triggers on "capture traffic", "how…

foundry-cast

Turns a teardown matrix into a reconstructed OpenAPI specification, and optionally generates a CLI from it. Detects specifications that already exist on disk so a spec cast in an earlier session can be pressed into a CLI without redoing any analysis. Triggers on "cast the spec", "generate the OpenAPI", "now build the…

foundry-intake

Collects and confirms the artifacts for a teardown before any analysis begins — asks what the user has, classifies each file, reports which analysis dimensions are covered, and gets explicit approval. Use at the start of any reverse-engineering or app-teardown task. Triggers on "tear down this app", "here is the APK"…

Reverse-engineers a closed application into a feature spec, a reconstructed OpenAPI specification, and optionally a CLI — starting from an APK, IPA, EXE, DMG, HAR traffic capture, or docs. Use when the target has no published API and Printing Press has nothing to work from. Triggers on "tear down this app", "reverse…
