What it does

Pp Iclasspro is an agent skill from mvanhorn/printing-press-library. Read iClassPro public catalogs, local history, and an authenticated read-only Office Portal surface. Trigger phrases: what classes does this gym have, check openings at, read iClassPro families, check the staff dashboard, read attendance, read transactions, use iclasspro, run iclasspro.

Its SKILL.md is about 9k 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases: what classes does this gym have
  • Check openings at
  • Read iClassPro families
  • Check the staff dashboard

Example prompts

  • “/pp-iclasspro”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. recall before any discovery
  2. decision tree
  3. always read warnings
  4. teach & after finalizing your response - always
  5. playbooks - optional flags, automatic synthesis
  6. playbook amend & when your debug response identifies a correction

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0fdcc7a. 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:

    • go
    • claude
    • npx

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ICLASSPRO_STAFF_PASSWORD

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

Context cost

Pp Iclasspro loads about 9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,859 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~9k

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.

iClassPro — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the iclasspro-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 iclasspro --cli-only
  2. Verify: iclasspro-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/productivity/iclasspro/cmd/iclasspro-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.

iClassPro powers thousands of gymnastics, swim, dance, and cheer businesses and ships no developer API at all. This CLI treats the portal's own endpoints as one: it works against any account by its portal slug, keeps every sync in local SQLite, and answers the questions the upstream API structurally cannot — what changed since last week (drift), how fast a class is filling (fill-rate), and what registration opens next (opens-soon). It also exposes the filters the portal UI uses but nobody documented, including free-text search and openings-only.

When to Use This CLI

Use this CLI whenever a task involves an iClassPro-powered business: gymnastics gyms, swim schools, dance and cheer studios. It is the right tool for reading a gym's class and camp catalog, searching or filtering it, watching for openings and registration windows, exporting schedules to a website or calendar, and comparing several gyms at once. It is especially suited to agencies and multi-location operators, because every command takes a portal slug and the local mirror can hold many accounts side by side. Prefer it over ad-hoc HTTP calls, because it knows which filters the API actually honors and which it silently ignores.

Anti-triggers

Do not use this CLI for:

  • Do not use this CLI to enroll a student, add to a cart, apply a promo code, or pay — it is read-only by design and has no such commands.
  • Do not use it to mutate staff-side records, take attendance, charge or refund a family, generate/export reports, read staff payroll, or manage time clocks. Its Office Portal surface is an explicit read-only allow-list.
  • Do not use it to cancel or reschedule a booking on a family's behalf; direct the person to the customer portal.
  • Do not point it at a class-management product that is not iClassPro — Mariana Tek, Vagaro, Jackrabbit, and Sutra all have unrelated APIs.
  • Do not treat its output as a system of record for enrollment counts; openings is a portal-facing number, not the gym's roster.

Unique Capabilities

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

Local history the API forgets
  • watch — Get told the moment a spot frees up in a class or camp that is currently full.

    Reach for this instead of re-polling a list endpoint yourself: it stores every observation, so it reports the transition rather than the current value.

    bash
    iclasspro-pp-cli watch scottsdalegymnastics --class 8357 --agent
  • drift — See what changed between syncs: classes and camps added, removed, retimed, or newly marked deleted.

    Use this to answer 'what is different since last week' without re-reading the whole catalog into context.

    bash
    iclasspro-pp-cli drift scottsdalegymnastics --since 7d --agent
  • opens-soon — Find registration that has not opened yet or is about to close, across every synced class and camp.

    This is the only way to see a camp before its registration opens, which is when popular sessions are still winnable.

    bash
    iclasspro-pp-cli opens-soon scottsdalegymnastics --days 14 --agent
  • fill-rate — Show how fast classes are filling over time, by class or by program.

    Answers whether a class is trending toward full or toward cancellation, which no upstream call can express.

    bash
    iclasspro-pp-cli fill-rate scottsdalegymnastics --programs 589 --agent
Catalog hygiene and publishing
  • calendar — Export synced camps and classes to an RFC 5545 calendar file, one event per session.

    Turns a portal catalog into something a calendar app, a website, or a newsletter can consume directly.

    bash
    iclasspro-pp-cli calendar scottsdalegymnastics --format ics --out fall-camps.ics
  • lint — Flag catalog quality problems: missing descriptions or images, expired registration windows, deleted-but-listed programs.

    Use before publishing a schedule to a website; it catches the records that will render blank or dead.

    bash
    iclasspro-pp-cli lint scottsdalegymnastics --agent
Multi-tenant reach
  • Expired customer-session fallback — Retry the anonymous Open API when a stored customer JWT returns HTTP 401.

    A login that was once needed cannot later take down a catalog the account publishes publicly. Sign-in-gated accounts still surface their login requirement.

    bash
    iclasspro-pp-cli locations examplegym --agent
  • tenant — Report which surfaces an account actually exposes: open, sign-in-gated, or plan-gated.

    Run this first against any new account; it prevents mistaking a sign-in gate for a gym with no classes.

    bash
    iclasspro-pp-cli tenant examplegym --agent
  • compare — Compare the same kind of program across several gyms at once.

    Built for franchise and agency operators who track many gyms and need one table instead of many tabs.

    bash
    iclasspro-pp-cli compare --accounts scottsdalegymnastics,oasisgymnastics,tigar --agent
Read-only Office Portal access
  • admin — Read an explicit allow-list of authenticated staff resources without mutation, export, or response caching.

    Provides staff-side visibility without giving an agent a generic request escape hatch or any write capability. Attendance reads discover the internal timeslot from the class and date when it is unambiguous.

    bash
    iclasspro-pp-cli admin families examplegym --q smith --limit 25 --agent
    iclasspro-pp-cli admin attendance examplegym 12345 2026-08-12 --agent

classes — Ongoing classes — the primary catalog

  • iclasspro-pp-cli classes get — Full class detail including the HTML description the list endpoint omits
  • iclasspro-pp-cli classes list — List classes with server-side filtering. Only the flags below are honored upstream; any other filter is applied locally

instructors — Instructors teaching classes at a location

  • iclasspro-pp-cli levels <account> <locationId> — Active skill levels with display colors; ids are valid values for 'classes list --levels'

locations — Physical locations for an account

  • iclasspro-pp-cli locations <account> — List every location on an iClassPro account, with contact details and portal branding

news — Portal news articles

  • iclasspro-pp-cli news <account> <articleId> — Fetch a single portal news article by id

  • iclasspro-pp-cli programs appointments — Appointment program categories; returns a plan-gate message on accounts without the appointments subscription
  • iclasspro-pp-cli programs camps — Camp program categories. These ids are programIds, NOT the typeIds 'camps list' needs — use 'bookings' for those
  • iclasspro-pp-cli programs classes — Class program categories; ids are valid values for 'classes list --programs'

sessions — Enrollment sessions (date-bounded terms)

  • iclasspro-pp-cli sessions <account> — Sessions for an account; ids are valid values for 'classes list --sessions'
Finding the right command

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

bash
iclasspro-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.

Recipes

Narrow a large class list down to just what an agent needs
bash
iclasspro-pp-cli classes list oasisgymnastics --openings 1 --limit 50 --agent --select id,name,openings,allowWaitlist,schedule.dayName,schedule.startTime

Some gyms return well over a hundred classes with nested schedule arrays; selecting dotted paths keeps the payload small enough to reason over without paging through raw JSON.

Resolve camp type ids the correct way, then list that type
bash
iclasspro-pp-cli bookings scottsdalegymnastics 1 --agent --select title,target,targetParams.typeId

The booking menu is the only authoritative source of camp type ids; feeding a programId from 'programs camps' into --type-id silently returns nothing.

Publish a gym's camp schedule to a calendar file
bash
iclasspro-pp-cli calendar scottsdalegymnastics --format ics --out fall-camps.ics

Builds one event per camp session from the block and schedule arrays, with the portal registration link attached to each event.

Check several gyms for openings in one pass
bash
iclasspro-pp-cli compare --accounts scottsdalegymnastics,oasisgymnastics,tigar --agent

Joins the synced copies of each account locally, which is the only way to line up programs whose names and ids differ per gym.

Audit a catalog before pushing it to a client website
bash
iclasspro-pp-cli lint scottsdalegymnastics --agent

Flags the records that will render blank or dead on a site: missing descriptions, missing images, expired registration windows, and programs already marked deleted upstream.

Establish a staff session without putting credentials in shell history
bash
ICLASSPRO_STAFF_USERNAME=staff-user ICLASSPRO_STAFF_PASSWORD='...' iclasspro-pp-cli auth staff-login examplegym

The password is used only for login and is never persisted. Verify with 'auth staff-status'; status output never exposes the cookie.

Record an authoritative catalog snapshot
bash
iclasspro-pp-cli sync examplegym --resources classes,camps --agent

Only a complete classes-and-camps walk replaces the snapshot used by drift. A classes-only or camps-only run still updates openings history and the search cache, but it cannot make the omitted resource type look deleted.

Read staff-side operational data
bash
iclasspro-pp-cli admin families examplegym --q smith --limit 25 --agent

The admin group covers dashboard, families, students, class search, enrollments, attendance, transactions, and report definitions through an explicit read-only endpoint allow-list.

Keep public reads working after a customer session expires
bash
iclasspro-pp-cli locations examplegym --agent

The CLI tries a stored customer session first. If iClassPro rejects that JWT with HTTP 401, it automatically retries the same read through the anonymous Open API. Public catalogs continue normally; gated catalogs return their sign-in message so you can run auth login again.

Read attendance without hunting for an internal timeslot ID
bash
iclasspro-pp-cli admin attendance examplegym 12345 2026-08-12 --agent

The CLI resolves the date's unique tsId through the Office Portal schedule endpoint before reading the roster. If a class has multiple events that day, the error lists their non-sensitive timeslot IDs so you can pass the intended one as the optional fourth argument.

Auth Setup

Most accounts need no credentials for public catalog reads. Customer-gated catalogs use 'auth login'. If a stored customer token expires, the CLI retries the same read anonymously so an optional stale login cannot break a public catalog; a genuinely gated catalog still reports that a fresh login is required. Staff-side reads use a separate Office Portal session created by 'auth staff-login' from ICLASSPRO_STAFF_USERNAME and ICLASSPRO_STAFF_PASSWORD. Credentials are never accepted as flags, passwords are never persisted, and only server-issued session material is stored in the private 0600 session file. The admin surface is an explicit read-only allow-list and does not cache Office Portal responses.

Run iclasspro-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
    iclasspro-pp-cli bookings mock-value mock-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

  • Read-only — do not use this CLI for create, update, delete, publish, comment, upvote, invite, order, send, or other mutating requests

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.

Paths and state

Agents should treat the CLI's path resolver as part of the runtime contract:

  • Use --home <dir> for one invocation, or set ICLASSPRO_HOME=<dir> to relocate all four path kinds under one root.

  • Use per-kind env vars only when a specific kind must diverge: ICLASSPRO_CONFIG_DIR, ICLASSPRO_DATA_DIR, ICLASSPRO_STATE_DIR, ICLASSPRO_CACHE_DIR.

  • Resolution order is per-kind env var, --home, ICLASSPRO_HOME, XDG (XDG_CONFIG_HOME, XDG_DATA_HOME, XDG_STATE_HOME, XDG_CACHE_HOME), then platform defaults.

  • config contains settings like config.toml and profiles. data contains credentials.toml, data.db, cookies, and auth sidecars. state contains persisted queries, jobs, and teach.log. cache contains regenerable HTTP/cache files.

  • Stored secrets live in credentials.toml under the data dir. Existing legacy config.toml secrets are read for compatibility and leave config.toml on the first auth write.

  • Run iclasspro-pp-cli doctor --fail-on warn to surface path and credential-location warnings. agent-context exposes a schema v4 paths block for agents that need the resolved dirs.

  • For MCP, pass relocation through the MCP host config. The MCP binary does not inherit CLI flags:

    json
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "iclasspro": {
          "command": "iclasspro-pp-mcp",
          "env": {
            "ICLASSPRO_HOME": "/srv/iclasspro"
          }
        }
      }
    }

Fleet precedence: an inherited per-kind env var overrides an explicit --home for that kind. Use ICLASSPRO_HOME or per-kind vars as durable fleet levers, and use --home only for a single invocation. Relocation is not reversible by unsetting env vars; move files manually before clearing ICLASSPRO_HOME, or doctor will not find credentials left under the former root.

Automatic learning

This CLI ships a self-capturing learning loop. The CLI does its own bookkeeping: every invocation is journaled locally, a failed flag followed by a corrected retry auto-derives a flag_alias candidate, and a teach on a query family without a playbook auto-synthesizes a playbook_candidate from the session's journal. Your job is judgment only: recall first, act on surfaced candidates, teach the final answer, playbook amend when you observe a correction. You never record failures by hand.

Step 1: recall before any discovery

Before list/search/drill commands on a new user question, run:

bash
iclasspro-pp-cli recall "<user's question>" --agent

The response envelope:

json
{
  "query": "...",
  "normalized": "<normalized form>",
  "query_entities": ["..."],
  "found": true | false,
  "match_score": 0.0,
  "results": [
    { "resource_id": "...", "resource_type": "...", "venue": "...",
      "confidence": 2, "entity_match": "exact|partial|unknown",
      "source": "taught|preseed|pattern", "warnings": ["..."] }
  ],
  "mismatches": [ /* only when --debug-mismatches */ ],
  "warnings": [ /* top-level */ ],
  "candidates": [
    { "id": 12, "class": "flag_alias | playbook_candidate",
      "summary": "...", "sightings": 3, "last_seen": "...",
      "rationale": "...",
      "next_action": ["<trial command>", "iclasspro-pp-cli learnings confirm 12"] }
  ],
  "playbook": {
    "query_family": "...",
    "playbook": {
      "steps": [ { "cmd": "<command with {slot} substitution>", "purpose": "..." } ],
      "entity_slots": ["$ENTITY"],
      "expected_tool_calls": 3
    },
    "slots_resolved": { "$ENTITY": { "token": "<live token>", "canonical": "<canonical>" } },
    "notes": "<workarounds + gotchas for this query family>"
  },
  "notes": "<duplicate surface for non-playbook callers>"
}

Empty-store short-circuit: if the store has no learnings, playbooks, or candidates yet (recall finds nothing and learnings list and learnings candidates are both empty), skip recall for the rest of this session instead of taxing every query; resume recall-first once something has been taught.

Step 2: decision tree

Read candidates, playbook, notes, results[0], and warnings in that order:

if Candidates present (warnings include "candidates_present"):
    -> candidates are try-then-confirm, never facts. Follow each candidate's
       two-step next_action verbatim: run the trial command first, then run
       `learnings confirm <id>` only after the trial verified the behavior.
       Reject a wrong candidate with `learnings reject <id>`.
    -> NEVER re-teach something recall surfaced as a candidate; confirm or
       reject that candidate instead of teaching a duplicate.
    -> candidates ride alongside playbooks and resource hits, not instead of
       them; continue with the branches below after acting on them.

if Playbook present:
    -> READ Playbook.notes verbatim FIRST (workarounds + gotchas the CLI surface doesn't expose)
    -> replay Playbook.steps in order, substituting Playbook.slots_resolved entries
       for the entity slot tokens. If a step's slot is unresolved, fall back to
       discovery for that step only.
    -> the Playbook's expected_tool_calls is a budget; if you find yourself running
       materially more, record the divergence via `iclasspro-pp-cli playbook amend`
       at end-of-session.

elif Notes present (no Playbook):
    -> read Notes verbatim before any discovery step; they carry known gotchas
       for this query family even when no structured choreography exists yet.

elif Found AND Results[0].EntityMatch == "exact" AND Results[0].Confidence >= 2:
    -> skip discovery; fetch live data for Results[*].ResourceID in parallel

elif Found AND Results[0].EntityMatch == "partial":
    -> candidate hint, NOT a hit; read the resource title to validate before trusting

elif (any row in Mismatches[] when --debug-mismatches was passed):
    -> treat as cold start; the stored learning is for a different entity
       (different canonical resolved from query_entities)

else:  // Found == false, no playbook, no notes
    -> cold start; run discovery normally; teach the answer afterward (Step 4).
       If the family has no playbook yet, that teach auto-synthesizes a
       playbook candidate from this session's journal - you do not need to
       record one by hand.

Playbook and Notes are orthogonal to the per-resource path. A recall response can carry both a Playbook AND a Results[] hit - use both: the Playbook tells you which choreography to run; the resource hits short-circuit specific steps. Default to skipping mismatches; pass --debug-mismatches only when investigating cold-start surprises.

Candidate judgment details: learnings confirm <id> prints the candidate's full payload before materializing it - check that the printed payload matches the behavior you verified. learnings reject <id> tombstones the derivation signature so the same candidate does not resurface. The envelope carries only the few candidates worth acting on now; iclasspro-pp-cli learnings candidates lists the full open set.

Graceful degradation: if learnings confirm is an unknown command, you are driving an older binary - ignore the candidates guidance and follow the rest of the protocol.

Step 3: always read warnings
  • low_confidence: row exists at confidence<2. Treat as a hint, not a skip-discovery hit.
  • resource_not_in_store: the local store doesn't have the resource the learning points at. The match validator couldn't classify entities — direct-fetch and re-evaluate.
  • cross_alias_match (per-result): the row was taught under a different alias and matched the live query's canonical via entity_lookups (e.g., a "USA" teach satisfying a "United States" recall). Trust the resource_id.
  • similar_shape_different_entity:<canonical> (top-level): a structurally matching row exists but its canonical entity differs from the live query's. Treated as cold start; the warning carries the conflicting canonical as a hint, but the row is NOT promoted into Results.
  • ambiguous_alias (top-level): a single query entity resolved to multiple canonicals (e.g., "Cards" → Arizona Cardinals + St. Louis Cardinals). Surface the ambiguity from context before committing to a resource.
  • candidates_present (top-level): the envelope carries a candidates section. Handle it via the candidates branch in Step 2 before anything else.
  • Top-level no_learnings_for_query_family: the table had no rows above the Jaccard floor. Pure cold start.
Step 4: teach & after finalizing your response - always

Teaching is unconditional. After resolving a query the store could not answer, background-teach the final resource mapping - no call-count threshold, no judging whether it was "worth" learning. The teach is the anchor of the loop: it triggers playbook synthesis for a family without a playbook, and same-referent phrasings fold into one family so near-duplicate teaches do not fragment the store. Fire it after assembling your user-facing response but BEFORE emitting it, with a shell & so the call returns immediately:

bash
iclasspro-pp-cli teach --query "<user's question>" --resource-type <type> --resource <id1> --resource <id2>
# (append shell `&` to background it)

Silent on success. Errors only land in teach.log under the resolved state dir. Teach the most specific resource - if the user asked a broad question and you walked through parent records to find the specific answer, teach the leaf id, not the parent. The CLI uses seeded entity_lookups for cross-alias resolution at recall time, so a teach under one alias (e.g., "Niners") satisfies future queries under another alias (e.g., "49ers", "San Francisco") automatically.

PII rule: teach the structural question with identifiers stripped - never include names, emails, phone numbers, account ids, or other personal identifiers in taught queries or notes. The CLI scans teach queries for obvious email/phone shapes and warns, but does not block; strip before teaching rather than relying on the warning.

Step 5: playbooks - optional flags, automatic synthesis

You do not need to decide whether a session "deserves" a playbook: a teach on a family without one auto-synthesizes a playbook_candidate from the session's journal, and the next session judges it via confirm/reject. Attach explicit playbook flags only when you already hold choreography worth recording verbatim - workarounds the CLI didn't surface (silently-dropped flags, undocumented params, pagination tricks, payload gotchas). Prefer the integrated one-call form - record the resource learning and the playbook in the same teach invocation:

bash
# Common case: record both the resource learning AND the playbook in one call.
iclasspro-pp-cli teach \
  --query "<user's question>" \
  --resource <id> \
  --playbook-file ~/playbooks/<shape>.json \
  --playbook-notes-file ~/playbooks/<shape>-notes.md
# (append shell `&` to background it)

# Alternate: playbook-only (no resource to record alongside).
iclasspro-pp-cli teach-playbook \
  --query "<user's question>" \
  --playbook-file ~/playbooks/<shape>.json \
  --notes-file ~/playbooks/<shape>-notes.md

Playbook files are JSON with steps, entity_slots, expected_tool_calls. Notes files are markdown carrying the gotchas verbatim. File-free callers (MCP-only agents) pass the same content inline: --playbook-json and --playbook-notes on the integrated teach form, --playbook-json and --notes on teach-playbook. On the integrated teach form, the playbook flags are optional - omit them entirely for a resource-only teach. On the standalone teach-playbook form, at least one of the playbook and notes flags must be set; both empty is rejected. Playbooks are keyed on the structural query family (entities stripped) so a recipe taught from one entity-shaped query applies to every other query of the same shape, with slots_resolved binding the live query's canonical at recall time.

When you DO find a playbook on a future recall, treat it as ground truth: replay the steps with slots_resolved substitutions, skip the discovery that the choreography already documents, and read notes before any step.

Step 6: playbook amend & when your debug response identifies a correction

If your debug-protocol response identifies a concrete correction the notes or playbook should know — a workaround, an undocumented endpoint shape, a stale field name, observed schema drift, an empty-payload fallback — fire playbook amend BEFORE emitting your user-facing response. Same fire-and-forget posture as teach.

bash
iclasspro-pp-cli playbook amend \
  --query "<exact recall query string>" \
  --add-note "<your concrete correction>"
# (append shell `&` to background it)

What counts as worth amending: a behavior you OBSERVED this session that future-you would benefit from knowing. Examples worth amending:

  • A workaround for a CLI surface that silently drops or misorders a flag.
  • An undocumented endpoint shape (response wrapped in {meta, results}, payload nested two levels deeper than the docs claim).
  • Observed schema drift (a field renamed, an index that shifted between seasons, a category label that the API now returns lower-cased).

What does NOT belong in notes:

  • The year-specific or entity-specific answer to the user's question. That's the response, not a learning.
  • Per-team / per-athlete / per-row data the playbook already retrieves at runtime.
  • Statements that paraphrase what the existing notes already say.

The amend command appends to the family's existing notes with a timestamped marker ([amend YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MMZ]: <text>). Multiple amends accumulate; the audit trail is visible. If no playbook exists yet for the family, amend creates a notes-only one (so cold-start corrections still land).

PII discipline for amend notes

playbook amend notes are designed to potentially flow upstream as shared knowledge in future versions of the Printing Press. Keep them clean of user-identifying content so the upstream-contribution path stays open without retroactive scrubbing:

  • Do NOT embed paths to user filesystems, personal API keys or tokens, user email addresses, user GitHub handles, or specific query histories tied to a single user.
  • Acceptable: endpoint shapes, undocumented field names, API gotchas, observed schema drift, workarounds for CLI surfaces, generalizable pagination or retry tactics.

If a correction is only meaningful with user-specific context, it belongs in a personal note, not in the playbook amend.

Measuring the loop

iclasspro-pp-cli learnings stats reports recall hit rate, teach-to-reuse, playbook resolution rate, and candidate confirm/reject counts from the local learn_events table. Rates are null until they have a denominator; everything stays on this machine. Use it to check whether the loop is earning its keep for this CLI.

Disabling learning
  • --no-learn on a single command short-circuits both recall and the teach write path. Use for deterministic agent flows or tests that must not be affected by accumulated learnings.
  • ICLASSPRO_NO_LEARN=true in the environment globally disables the pipeline.

Agent Feedback

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

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

Entries are stored locally as feedback.jsonl under the resolved data dir. They are never POSTed unless ICLASSPRO_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or ICLASSPRO_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 or recurring agent reuses the same saved flags while providing different input each run.

iclasspro-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
iclasspro-pp-cli --profile briefing bookings mock-value mock-value
iclasspro-pp-cli profile list --json
iclasspro-pp-cli profile show briefing
iclasspro-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.

Argument Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

  1. Empty, help, or --help → show iclasspro-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

  1. Install the MCP server:
    bash
    go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/productivity/iclasspro/cmd/iclasspro-pp-mcp@latest
  2. Register with Claude Code:
    bash
    claude mcp add iclasspro-pp-mcp -- iclasspro-pp-mcp
  3. Verify: claude mcp list

Direct Use

  1. Check if installed: which iclasspro-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
    iclasspro-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent
  4. If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help: iclasspro-pp-cli <command> --help.
