Roblox — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the roblox-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 roblox --cli-only

2. Verify: roblox-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:

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/social-and-messaging/roblox/cmd/roblox-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.

Query public users, groups, avatars, games, badges, inventory, catalog, and thumbnails across Roblox API hosts. Cross-resource investigation commands and a local SQLite store turn isolated responses into reproducible research workflows.

When to Use This CLI

Use this CLI for public Roblox identity, group, game, catalog, badge, inventory, presence, or thumbnail research and for repeatable agent workflows over those records. Prefer its investigation and local-history commands when a task spans multiple Roblox API hosts.

Anti-triggers

Do not use this CLI for:

• Do not use this CLI instead of Roblox Studio for experience development.
• Do not use anonymous commands for account mutations that require Cookie and CSRF state.
• Do not treat this legacy public-data CLI as the Roblox Open Cloud creator-administration API.

Unique Capabilities

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

Cross-resource investigations

• investigate user — Assemble a public Roblox user's identity, avatar, groups, badges, inventory visibility, and thumbnails in one result.

  Use this when an agent needs broad public context for one Roblox identity rather than a single record.

  roblox-pp-cli investigate user 1 --agent

• investigate group — Resolve a Roblox group, its owner, roles, and other public context in one command.

  Use this for repeatable public ownership and affiliation checks on a Roblox group.

  roblox-pp-cli investigate group 1 --agent

• catalog creator-footprint — Summarize a Roblox creator's public games, bundles, and catalog-facing identity in one result.

  Use this for creator or competitor research that spans more than one catalog endpoint.

  roblox-pp-cli catalog creator-footprint 1 --agent

• ecosystem game — Build a game-centered view of public universe details, creator context, media, and related badges.

  Use this for game or competitor research that spans more than a single universe response.

  roblox-pp-cli ecosystem game 1534453623 --agent

Local relationship analysis

• network overlap — Find shared public groups and relationship records between two locally synced Roblox users.

  Use this when comparing two Roblox identities and their observable public affiliations.

  roblox-pp-cli network overlap --user-a 1 --user-b 156 --agent

Finding the right command

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

roblox-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 public user response

roblox-pp-cli users get 1 --agent --select results.id,results.name,results.displayName

Return only stable identity fields to conserve agent context.

Investigate a group

roblox-pp-cli investigate group 1 --agent

Resolve public group and owner context together.

Refresh selected local resources

roblox-pp-cli sync --resources users,groups --max-pages 1

Populate a bounded local snapshot for later search and comparison.

Auth Setup

Public lookup commands require no credentials. Some legacy Roblox endpoints require a browser session cookie and CSRF handling; this CLI does not claim that account mutations are available without those protections. Roblox Open Cloud API keys and OAuth are a separate creator-administration surface.

Run roblox-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:

  roblox-pp-cli asset-thumbnail-animated --asset-id 42 --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, and use --ignore-missing only when a missing delete target should count as success

Response envelope

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

{
  "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 ROBLOX_HOME=<dir> to relocate all four path kinds under one root.

• Use per-kind env vars only when a specific kind must diverge: ROBLOX_CONFIG_DIR, ROBLOX_DATA_DIR, ROBLOX_STATE_DIR, ROBLOX_CACHE_DIR.

• Resolution order is per-kind env var, --home, ROBLOX_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 roblox-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:

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "roblox": {
        "command": "roblox-pp-mcp",
        "env": {
          "ROBLOX_HOME": "/srv/roblox"
        }
      }
    }
  }

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