What it does

Pp Quranku is an agent skill from mvanhorn/printing-press-library. Every Al-Qur'an feature the app has, plus the Indonesian Tarjamah Tafsiriyah offline, a local database, offline search, a khatam plan, and a hifz tracker no other Qur'an tool has. Trigger phrases: read surah, tarjamah tafsiriyah, cari ayat, verse of the day, khatam plan, use quranku, run quranku.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k 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: read surah
  • Tarjamah tafsiriyah
  • Verse of the day

Example prompts

  • “/pp-quranku”

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: quranku-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:

    • 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Pp Quranku loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,465 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

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.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash

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.

QuranKu — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the quranku-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 quranku --cli-only
  2. Verify: quranku-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/education/quranku/cmd/quranku-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.

QuranKu carries Ustadz Muhammad Thalib's Tarjamah Tafsiriyah translation alongside Quran.com's metadata and audio, all in a local SQLite store. Read any surah, look up any verse, search offline with find, follow a plan to finish the Qur'an, and track memorization with hifz.

When to Use This CLI

Use QuranKu when an agent or user needs Qur'an text with the Indonesian Tarjamah Tafsiriyah, offline verse search, precise ayah lookups, or personal reading/memorization tracking. It is the only tool that carries this specific translation with a local database.

Anti-triggers

Do not use this CLI for:

  • Do not use for hadith, fiqh rulings, or non-Qur'an Islamic texts.
  • Do not use for prayer times or qibla direction.
  • Do not use to modify or publish Qur'an content upstream — it is read-only plus local personal state.

Unique Capabilities

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

Local state that compounds
  • find — Search the Qur'an offline by word or meaning across Arabic and the Indonesian Tafsiriyah.

    Reach for this when you need to locate verses by meaning without a live search API.

    bash
    quranku-pp-cli find "kasih sayang" --json
  • verse — Get a single verse (e.g. 2:255) with Arabic and the Tafsiriyah translation joined together.

    Use for a precise ayah lookup instead of fetching a whole surah.

    bash
    quranku-pp-cli verse 2:255 --json
  • daily — A stable, date-seeded verse of the day with its Tafsiriyah translation.

    Use for a reproducible daily reflection verse.

    bash
    quranku-pp-cli daily --json
  • random — A random verse with its Tafsiriyah translation for reflection.

    Use for a spontaneous verse for study or reflection.

    bash
    quranku-pp-cli random --json
Personal practice tracking
  • plan — Build and follow a plan to finish the Qur'an in N days, tracking progress locally.

    Use to pace and track a full Qur'an reading over time.

    bash
    quranku-pp-cli plan start --days 30
  • hifz — Mark and review Qur'an memorization progress per surah or verse.

    Use to track what you have memorized across sessions.

    bash
    quranku-pp-cli hifz mark 1 --json
  • bookmark — Save verses with personal notes for later, offline.

    Use to keep a personal, portable set of saved verses.

    bash
    quranku-pp-cli bookmark add 2:255 --note "Ayat Kursi"

websearch — Live online full-text search across the whole Qur'an (Quran.com)

  • quranku-pp-cli websearch — Search the Qur'an by word or meaning
Finding the right command

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

bash
quranku-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

Read a surah with translation
bash
quranku-pp-cli surah get 36 --json --select data.verses.translations.terjemahTafsiriyah

Fetch Yasin and narrow the payload to just the Tafsiriyah translation lines.

bash
quranku-pp-cli find "sabar" --json

Find verses mentioning patience across the local Arabic + Tafsiriyah index.

Start a 30-day khatam
bash
quranku-pp-cli plan start --days 30

Create a reading plan that finishes the Qur'an in 30 days and tracks progress.

Auth Setup

No authentication required.

Run quranku-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
    quranku-pp-cli chapters list --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 QURANKU_HOME=<dir> to relocate all four path kinds under one root.

  • Use per-kind env vars only when a specific kind must diverge: QURANKU_CONFIG_DIR, QURANKU_DATA_DIR, QURANKU_STATE_DIR, QURANKU_CACHE_DIR.

  • Resolution order is per-kind env var, --home, QURANKU_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 quranku-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": {
        "quranku": {
          "command": "quranku-pp-mcp",
          "env": {
            "QURANKU_HOME": "/srv/quranku"
          }
        }
      }
    }

Fleet precedence: an inherited per-kind env var overrides an explicit --home for that kind. Use QURANKU_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 QURANKU_HOME, or doctor will not find credentials left under the former root.

Agent Feedback

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

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

Entries are stored locally as feedback.jsonl under the resolved data dir. They are never POSTed unless QURANKU_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or QURANKU_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.

quranku-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
quranku-pp-cli --profile briefing chapters list
quranku-pp-cli profile list --json
quranku-pp-cli profile show briefing
quranku-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 quranku-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/education/quranku/cmd/quranku-pp-mcp@latest
  2. Register with Claude Code:
    bash
    claude mcp add quranku-pp-mcp -- quranku-pp-mcp
  3. Verify: claude mcp list

Direct Use

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