SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the risk of losing critical prior work—including research, post-publish patches, and custom features—when regenerating an existing published CLI after a Printing Press upgrade, new MCP surface launch, or when a systemic gap in the existing CLI requires a full rebuild instead of manual polish.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Version Reconciliation: Automatically checks local and public library versions of the target CLI to avoid overwriting unpublished work or importing outdated public copies.
  • Research & Patch Preservation: Carries forward prior research and post-publish hand-fixed patches as context for the regeneration pipeline, preventing silent regressions of live-validated fixes.
  • Recency-Aware Recommendations: Evaluates the age of prior research to recommend reusing existing work or redoing research from scratch, based on how likely the underlying API has changed.
  • Use Case: If you have a published cal.com CLI that was built before a new MCP intent surface launched, this skill will pull the prior CLI, surface any existing patches for auth quirks, and hand off to the Printing Press pipeline to regenerate it with all relevant context preserved.

Quick Start

Use the printing-press-reprint skill to regenerate your existing published Notion CLI, carrying over all prior research and patches to avoid losing work.

Frequently Asked Questions about printing-press-reprint

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I regenerate a published CLI without losing prior research and patches?▼

To regenerate a published CLI without losing prior research and patches, use a version reconciliation pipeline that carries forward existing research and post-publish hand-fixed patches as context inputs, preventing silent regressions of live-validated fixes during the rebuild.

When do I need to rebuild an existing CLI instead of manually polishing it?▼

You need to rebuild an existing CLI when a systemic gap requires more than manual polish, such as after a Printing Press upgrade, a new MCP surface launch, or when the existing published CLI structure is too outdated for incremental fixes.

How does version reconciliation work for local and public library CLI copies?▼

Version reconciliation checks local and public library versions of the target CLI to avoid overwriting unpublished local work or importing outdated public copies during the regeneration pipeline handoff.

Can I preserve custom features and hand-fixed patches when upgrading a CLI?▼

Yes, you can preserve custom features and hand-fixed patches when upgrading a CLI by passing a patch watch-list and prior research context as handoff inputs to the generation pipeline, ensuring live-validated fixes are not silently dropped.

Do I need access to the Printing Press library and cli-printing-press binary to regenerate a CLI?▼

Yes, regenerating a CLI requires access to the Printing Press library, local manuscript directories, and the cli-printing-press binary to integrate with the generation pipeline and pass preserved context.

What happens if prior API research is outdated before regenerating a CLI?▼

If prior API research is outdated before regenerating a CLI, recency-aware evaluation checks the age of the research to recommend whether to reuse existing work or redo research from scratch based on how likely the underlying API has changed.
