printing-press-amend

name	printing-press-amend
description	Amend a published CLI from one of two input sources: (1) dogfood mode mines the active Claude Code session transcript for friction (missing flags, hand- rolled API payloads, silent-null returns); (2) direct-input mode accepts user-supplied asks (rename a command, add commands or feeds, fix a named bug, optionally sniff the source site for new endpoints). Confirms scope with the user, plans + executes the fix autonomously, scrubs PII, and opens a PR against mvanhorn/printing-press-library. Two user-in-loop checkpoints: scope after capture, PR draft before open. Trigger phrases: "amend the CLI", "submit a patch", "fix what I just dogfooded", "open a PR for this CLI", "patch this CLI", "add features to my CLI", "rename this command", "add these feeds to <cli>", "sniff for new APIs in <cli>", "amend with these ideas", "use printing-press-amend", "run printing-press-amend".

/printing-press-amend

Turn a dogfood session into a PR for a printed CLI in the public library.

/printing-press-amend                 # auto-detect target CLI from session
/printing-press-amend superhuman      # explicit short name
/printing-press-amend superhuman-pp-cli
/printing-press-amend "$PRESS_LIBRARY/superhuman"

This skill lives in this repo (the machine) and acts on a printed CLI in the public library. It is sibling to /printing-press-publish (adds a new CLI), /printing-press-polish (improves a CLI pre-publish), and /printing-press-retro (reflects on the machine itself). None of those cover post-publish CLI amendments driven by real-session friction.

The artifact this skill produces is semantically a "patch" (in the git/PR sense), tracked by the public library's .printing-press-patches/ directory (one file per patch). Inline // PATCH(...) source comments are optional navigation aids when they make a customized site easier to grep. The slash-skill name is amend to disambiguate from the existing cli-printing-press patch binary subcommand (which AST-injects pre-defined features — different mechanism, different intent).

Setup

Before doing anything else:

# min-binary-version: 4.0.0

# Derive scope first — needed for local build detection
_scope_dir="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || echo "$PWD")"
_scope_dir="$(cd "$_scope_dir" && pwd -P)"

# Prefer local build when running from inside the printing-press repo.
_press_repo=false
