What it does

Pp Tabelog is an agent skill from mvanhorn/printing-press-library. Tabelog restaurant and bar discovery in Japan, restaurant-page inspection, and offline trip shortlists with comparison and freshness checks.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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.

Example prompts

  • “/pp-tabelog”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve a location with areas and a category with cuisines. Use returned typed choices when names are ambiguous.
  2. Use find for a small source-ranked candidate set; inspect selected canonical URLs or cached IDs with show.
  3. Save fetched candidates with lists add. Maintain notes and membership with lists show, lists note, and lists remove.
  4. Compare saved facts offline. Audit missing or old evidence before refreshing selected IDs.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 76de244. 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:

    • npx
    • go

    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 Tabelog loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 482 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Tabelog

Use tabelog-pp-cli from PATH, or ./tabelog-pp-cli in a built checkout. Build instructions: README.md. Public English sources need no account or API key.

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the tabelog-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

After this CLI is merged into the public library, install it with the Printing Press installer:

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

If the installer is unavailable, install directly with Go 1.26.6 or newer:

bash
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/food-and-dining/tabelog/cmd/tabelog-pp-cli@latest

Go installs the binary into $GOBIN when set, otherwise $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin). Add that directory to $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill, or invoke the installed binary by its full path.

Verify: tabelog-pp-cli --version

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.

Workflow

  1. Resolve a location with areas and a category with cuisines. Use returned typed choices when names are ambiguous.
  2. Use find for a small source-ranked candidate set; inspect selected canonical URLs or cached IDs with show.
  3. Save fetched candidates with lists add. Maintain notes and membership with lists show, lists note, and lists remove.
  4. Compare saved facts offline. Audit missing or old evidence before refreshing selected IDs.

Completion means structured results and their provenance support the answer. Use command help for current flags instead of loading the full command catalog.

Compact discovery

bash
tabelog-pp-cli find --area tokyo --cuisine bar --meal dinner --budget-max 5000 --limit 5 --agent --select items.id,items.name,items.rating,items.review_count,items.dinner_budget,items.url

Read items for domain results and meta for effective criteria, source, age and coverage. --agent retains meaningful facts in compact JSON. Projection narrows fields while retaining essential metadata. A source next-page link is not a cursor immediately after the last displayed item.

Find summaries share identical fetched_at and source_surface values in meta; a row value overrides that default. meta.budget_source supplies an omitted meal-budget source; an explicit budget source overrides it. Explicit projection reads the full records.

Unique Capabilities

CommandUse it for
lists addPersist fetched candidates and personal notes
lists compareCompare saved facts offline
lists refreshFetch current details and report changes
lists alternativesMatch saved backups against explicit constraints
lists auditFind unfetched, unknown or old evidence

For saved-candidate planning, read docs/saved-lists.md.

Accuracy and boundaries

  • Preserve ratings, review counts, separate meal budgets, links and retrieval times. Tabelog scores are weighted source signals, not universal quality verdicts.
  • Budget brackets are source estimates. Station meters are relative to the named station. Reservation policies do not establish current availability.
  • Distinguish source-unknown facts from details not fetched. Report bounded coverage, stale data and partial refresh failures. --data-source local makes zero source requests; a cache miss does not mean no restaurants exist.
  • On failure, inspect stdout for usable partial results and stderr for diagnostics. Domain errors are JSON under --agent; global flag-parser errors can be text.
  • Booking, payment/account changes, live availability/open-now conclusions, walking routes and bulk review/image harvesting are outside this CLI's scope.
