What it does

Pp Airhint is an agent skill from mvanhorn/printing-press-library. Printing Press CLI for Airhint. AirHint flight price prediction API — buy/wait recommendations for airline tickets

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Official library of CLIs generated by the CLI Printing Press. Endorsed, tested, and community-contributed. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/pp-airhint”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and…
  2. Verify: airhint-pp-cli --version
  3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d9a1696. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • claude
    • npx
    • go

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Pp Airhint loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,093 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Airhint — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the airhint-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

  1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:
    bash
    npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install airhint --cli-only
  2. Verify: airhint-pp-cli --version
  3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead:

bash
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/travel/airhint/cmd/airhint-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

AirHint flight price prediction API — buy/wait recommendations for airline tickets

Unique Capabilities

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

Compound query
  • workflow predict-sweep — Sweep buy/wait predictions across a date range for a route, fetching live prices for each date

    Enables batch price intelligence for flexible travelers — find the cheapest AND safest date to buy

    bash
    airhint-pp-cli workflow predict-sweep STN DUB --days 14 --airline FR --json
  • workflow compare-routes — Compare buy/wait predictions across multiple origin-destination pairs on the same date

    One command to compare 3+ routes vs 3+ browser tabs — agent-native travel planning

    bash
    airhint-pp-cli workflow compare-routes 2026-08-16 STN:DUB LGW:BCN MAD:LIS --json
Local state that compounds
  • workflow cheapest-window — Find the cheapest departure date in a given month using the cheapest-deal-month and cheapest-airline-deal-month endpoints

    Answers 'what date in August is cheapest for STN→DUB?' without opening the browser

    bash
    airhint-pp-cli workflow cheapest-window STN DUB 8 --airline FR

HTTP Transport

This CLI uses Chrome-compatible HTTP transport for browser-facing endpoints. It does not require a resident browser process for normal API calls.

Discovery Signals

This CLI was generated with browser-observed traffic context.

  • Capture coverage: 8 API entries from 16 total network entries
  • Protocols: rest_json (75% confidence)
  • Generation hints: browser_http_transport, requires_protected_client, weak_schema_confidence
  • Candidate command ideas: create_airport_names — Derived from observed POST /airport-names traffic.; get_DUB — Derived from observed GET /cheapest-deal-month/one-way/STN/DUB/{dub_id} traffic.; get_search — Derived from observed GET /search/{search_id} traffic.; list_2026_08_16 — Derived from observed GET /predict/FR/STN/DUB/2026-08-16 traffic.; list_airport_autocomplete — Derived from observed GET /airport-autocomplete traffic.; list_inline_ads — Derived from observed GET /inline-ads traffic.; list_kayak_location_lookup — Derived from observed GET /kayak-location-lookup traffic.
  • Caveats: weak_schema_evidence: Binary or protobuf response cannot provide reliable JSON schema evidence.

Command Reference

airport-autocomplete — Airport and city search autocomplete

  • airhint-pp-cli airport-autocomplete — Search airports and cities by name or IATA code

airport-names — Bulk airport name lookup

  • airhint-pp-cli airport-names — Get airport names for a list of IATA codes

cheapest-airline-deal-month — Find the cheapest deal for a specific airline in a month

  • airhint-pp-cli cheapest-airline-deal-month <airline> <origin> <destination> <date> <currency> — Get cheapest fare for a specific airline on a route near a date

cheapest-deal-month — Find the cheapest flight deal in a given month

  • airhint-pp-cli cheapest-deal-month <origin> <destination> <month> — Get the cheapest one-way fare for a route in a given month

flights — Flight search — find available flights and current prices

  • airhint-pp-cli flights create-search — Initiate a flight search, returns a search_id for polling
  • airhint-pp-cli flights get-search — Poll for search results using the search_id from create_search

predict — Flight price prediction — buy or wait recommendations

  • airhint-pp-cli predict <airline> <origin> <destination> <date> — Get buy/wait recommendation for a flight at a given price
Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

bash
airhint-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.

Auth Setup

No authentication required.

Run airhint-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.

Agent Mode

Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.

  • Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr

  • Filterable — --select keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:

    bash
    airhint-pp-cli airport-autocomplete --query example-value --agent --select id,name,status
  • Previewable — --dry-run shows the request without sending

  • Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available

  • Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag

  • Explicit retries — use --idempotent only when an already-existing create should count as success

Response envelope

Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:

json
{
  "meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
  "results": <data>
}

Parse .results for data and .meta.source to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable N results (live) summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal AND no machine-format flag (--json, --csv, --compact, --quiet, --plain, --select) is set — piped/agent consumers and explicit-format runs get pure JSON on stdout.

Agent Feedback

When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:

airhint-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
airhint-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
airhint-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10

Entries are stored locally at ~/.local/share/airhint-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless AIRHINT_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or AIRHINT_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true. Default behavior is local-only.

Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.

Output Delivery

Every command accepts --deliver <sink>. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:

SinkEffect
stdoutDefault; write to stdout only
file:<path>Atomically write output to <path> (tmp + rename)
webhook:<url>POST the output body to the URL (application/json or application/x-ndjson when --compact)

Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.

Named Profiles

A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.

airhint-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
airhint-pp-cli --profile briefing airport-autocomplete --query example-value
airhint-pp-cli profile list --json
airhint-pp-cli profile show briefing
airhint-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes

Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults. agent-context lists all available profiles under available_profiles so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.

Exit Codes

CodeMeaning
0Success
2Usage error (wrong arguments)
3Resource not found
5API error (upstream issue)
7Rate limited (wait and retry)
10Config error

Argument Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

  1. Empty, help, or --help → show airhint-pp-cli --help output
  2. Starts with install → ends with mcp → MCP installation; otherwise → see Prerequisites above
  3. Anything else → Direct Use (execute as CLI command with --agent)

MCP Server Installation

Install the MCP binary from this CLI's published public-library entry or pre-built release, then register it:

bash
claude mcp add airhint-pp-mcp -- airhint-pp-mcp

Verify: claude mcp list

Direct Use

  1. Check if installed: which airhint-pp-cli If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill).
  2. Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.
  3. Execute with the --agent flag:
    bash
    airhint-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent
  4. If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help: airhint-pp-cli <command> --help.
