Food52 — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the food52-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:

   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install food52 --cli-only

2. Verify: food52-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):

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/food-and-dining/food52/cmd/food52-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.

When to Use This CLI

Reach for this CLI when an agent needs Food52-quality recipes (community-curated, editor-tested) without rendering a browser or scraping HTML. The pantry match and offline FTS commands turn it into an edit-friendly cookbook the agent can keep on disk between sessions. Use the live recipes search for one-off lookups; sync + offline search for repeated queries against the same recipes.

When Not to Use This CLI

Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis.

Unique Capabilities

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

Local state that compounds

• pantry match — Find Food52 recipes whose ingredients overlap your local pantry, ranked by coverage.

  Reach for this when the user asks 'what can I make with what I have' rather than searching for one dish at a time.

  food52-pp-cli pantry match --min-coverage 0.7 --json

• search — Full-text search across every recipe and article you have synced, with type filtering.

  Use this for lookups that can't justify a Typesense round trip or when offline.

  food52-pp-cli search "miso" --type recipe --json

• sync recipes — Pull recipes for one or more tags into the local FTS-indexed store.

  Run before pantry match or offline search to seed the local cookbook.

  food52-pp-cli sync recipes chicken vegetarian --limit 100

• articles for-recipe — Find synced articles that mention a given recipe in their relatedReading.

  Use when the user wants the editorial context behind a recipe they've found.

  food52-pp-cli articles for-recipe sarah-fennel-s-best-lunch-lady-brownie-recipe

Editorial signals others ignore

• recipes top — Show only Food52 Test-Kitchen-approved recipes for a tag, with a rating floor.

  Pick this over a broad search when the user wants 'a recipe Food52's editors signed off on,' not just any community recipe.

  food52-pp-cli recipes top chicken --min-rating 4 --limit 5 --json

Recipe transforms

• scale — Scale a recipe's ingredients to a different number of servings using its Schema.org recipeYield.

  Use when the user is cooking for a different headcount than the recipe's default yield.

  food52-pp-cli scale mom-s-japanese-curry-chicken-with-radish-and-cauliflower --servings 8 --json

• print — Render a recipe as ingredients + numbered steps with no nav, no images, no ads, no comments — ready to pipe to lp or paste into notes.

  Use when the user wants to actually cook from the recipe rather than browse it.

  food52-pp-cli print sarah-fennel-s-best-lunch-lady-brownie-recipe

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: 0 API entries from 0 total network entries
• Protocols: ssr_embedded_data (100% confidence), next_data_json (100% confidence), rest_json (100% confidence), schema_org_jsonld (100% confidence)
• Auth signals: none
• Generation hints: browser_http_transport
• Candidate command ideas: recipes search; recipes browse; recipes get; tags list; verticals list; articles browse; articles get
• Caveats: scope_note: Hotline (/hotline, /hotline/questions/<topic>) returns only siteSettings in pageProps and renders no question/answer data in the DOM. The community Q&A is effectively unreachable for unauthenticated read scrapers. Excluded from CLI scope.; scope_note: Shop endpoints exist on shop.food52.com and food52.myshopify.com/api/2025-01/graphql.json but require Shopify Storefront API token discovery; deferred from v1.; scope_note: buildId (Pq8fQj0nm7uTx90i5u0si at the time of browser-sniff) and _app.js bundle hash change on every Food52 deploy. The CLI's runtime discovery (buildId from NEXT_DATA.buildId, key from regex over the active _app-<hash>.js) handles rotation transparently.; scope_note: Typesense /collections endpoint requires the admin key (search-only key returns 403 there). The CLI does not list collections; it queries the known collection name 'recipes_production_food52_current' directly.
