here.now — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the here-now-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 here-now --cli-only

2. Verify: here-now-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/cloud/here-now/cmd/here-now-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 whenever an agent needs to turn generated content into a live URL, manage private Drive files, or read back Site Data form submissions. It is the right tool for free-tier-heavy workflows: anonymous-publish-and-claim, drives sync, and staying under plan limits without paid analytics. Prefer it over raw API calls when publishing a directory, syncing files, or reading a site's Site Data records.

Unique Capabilities

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

Anonymous publish lifecycle

• claims — Every anonymous publish records its slug, claim token, and 24h expiry into a local vault, so you can make an expiring site permanent later without hunting for the token in terminal scrollback.

  Reach for this when an agent publishes anonymously and needs to keep the site — the token to do so exists nowhere else.

  here-now-pp-cli claims --json

• claims expiring — Lists anonymous sites expiring within a time window so you can claim them before they vanish.

  Run this before anonymous sites silently expire at 24h to catch the ones worth keeping.

  here-now-pp-cli claims expiring --within 6h --json

• publish resume — Detects a locally-recorded publish that uploaded its files but never finalized, and completes it instead of re-publishing from scratch.

  Use this when a publish half-failed (uploads done, finalize missed) to finish it without burning publish-rate budget on a redo.

  here-now-pp-cli publish resume my-site --dry-run

Drive as a filesystem

• drives sync — Rsync-style sync of a local directory to a Drive: compares local sha256 against the synced file checksums and uploads only what changed, new, or deleted.

  Reach for this instead of re-uploading a whole folder — it only sends drift, saving rate budget and time.

  here-now-pp-cli drives sync ./assets --drive drv_example --dry-run

• drives diff — Shows which local files differ from a Drive (added, changed, deleted) without uploading anything.

  Use this to preview exactly what a sync would change before committing to the upload.

  here-now-pp-cli drives diff ./assets --drive drv_example --json

Free-plan health

• usage — Local rollup of site count, drive bytes, and recent publish cadence against the free-plan ceilings (500 sites, 10GB, 60 publishes/hour).

  Use this to stay under the free-plan caps without paying for analytics; it's the free user's only proactive limit signal.

  here-now-pp-cli usage --json

• sites stale — Lists sites not updated in N days from the local mirror, so you can reclaim free-plan slots by deleting dead ones.

  Run this near the 500-site free cap to find which sites to prune.

  here-now-pp-cli sites stale --days 30 --json

Finding the right command

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

here-now-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.
