Texas Roadhouse - call ahead seating

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the texas-roadhouse-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 texas-roadhouse --cli-only

2. Verify: texas-roadhouse-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/food-and-dining/texas-roadhouse/cmd/texas-roadhouse-pp-cli@6695fc0c66c9f1a5670c049428bd79752e231751

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.

Waitlist CLI for Texas Roadhouse. Find a nearby store, read the quote, join and leave the list.

Unofficial integration: This skill is not affiliated with or endorsed by Texas Roadhouse. It uses browser-observed, undocumented endpoints that may change without notice. A waitlist submission sends the guest's name, email address, phone number, and party details to Texas Roadhouse. Do not put that identity on argv flags. Agents pass stdin JSON, --guest-file, or TEXAS_ROADHOUSE_GUEST_* env vars. --dry-run redacts guest fields. Hidden name/email/phone flags are a private --yes path only. Live submit / checkin / cancel require --yes.

MCP privacy boundary: the MCP server intentionally does not expose waitlist submit, because MCP hosts can retain tool-call arguments in transcripts or logs. Use the CLI's stdin JSON, --guest-file, environment, or interactive-prompt flow for a guest join.

Last endpoint verification: 2026-08-29. A Cloudflare challenge or HTTP 403 can mean the browser-facing endpoint changed or rejected the Chrome-compatible transport; retrying a mutation is unsafe until --dry-run and a fresh read request succeed.

HTTP Transport

This CLI uses Chrome-compatible HTTP transport for browser-facing endpoints. It does not require a resident browser process for normal API calls.

Discovery Signals

This CLI was generated with browser-observed traffic context.

• Capture coverage: 7 API entries from 7 total network entries
• Protocols: rest_json (75% confidence)
• Candidate command ideas: get_mapbox.places — Derived from observed GET /api/mapbox/geocoding/v5/mapbox.places/{id} traffic.; get_quote — Derived from observed GET /api/texasroadhouse/waitlist/{waitlist_id}/quote traffic.; get_settings — Derived from observed GET /api/texasroadhouse/waitlist/{waitlist_id}/settings traffic.; get_test — Derived from observed GET /api/texasroadhouse/waitlist/{waitlist_id}/test traffic.; list_near — Derived from observed GET /api/stores/near traffic.

Command Reference

mapbox — Operations on mapbox.places

• texas-roadhouse-pp-cli mapbox <id> — GET /api/mapbox/geocoding/v5/mapbox.places/{id}

stores — Operations on near

• texas-roadhouse-pp-cli stores — GET /api/stores/near

texasroadhouse — Operations on test

• texas-roadhouse-pp-cli texasroadhouse cancel — Cancel a waitlist request. Guests can also text REMOVE to leave; CLI leave is this cancel command. Live cancel requires --yes; --dry-run previews without POSTing.
• texas-roadhouse-pp-cli texasroadhouse checkin — Mark the party HERE after the guest texts HERE once everyone has arrived (text REMOVE to leave). Not a host-stand visit. Live check-in requires --yes; --dry-run previews without POSTing.
• texas-roadhouse-pp-cli texasroadhouse get-quote — GET /api/texasroadhouse/waitlist/{waitlist_id}/quote
• texas-roadhouse-pp-cli texasroadhouse get-settings — GET /api/texasroadhouse/waitlist/{waitlist_id}/settings
• texas-roadhouse-pp-cli texasroadhouse get-status — GET waitlist request status. Query clientid=texasroadhouse.
• texas-roadhouse-pp-cli texasroadhouse get-test — GET /api/texasroadhouse/waitlist/{waitlist_id}/test
• texas-roadhouse-pp-cli texasroadhouse submit — Join a store waitlist. Guest PII comes from stdin JSON, --guest-file, or TEXAS_ROADHOUSE_GUEST_* env vars, not argv flags. Live join requires --yes; --dry-run previews a redacted body without POSTing.

Finding the right command

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

texas-roadhouse-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.

Auth Setup

No authentication required.

Run texas-roadhouse-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.

Agent Mode

Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color.

• 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:

  texas-roadhouse-pp-cli mapbox 65804 --agent --select bbox,center,context

• Previewable — --dry-run shows the request without sending

• Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available

• Non-interactive — --agent never prompts; guest name/email/phone belong on stdin JSON, --guest-file, or env vars, not argv flags

• Explicit confirmation — --agent does not imply --yes; pass --yes separately only after the target, arguments, and side effects are clear

• Explicit retries — use --idempotent only when an already-existing create 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 TEXAS_ROADHOUSE_HOME=<dir> to relocate all four path kinds under one root.

• Use per-kind env vars only when a specific kind must diverge: TEXAS_ROADHOUSE_CONFIG_DIR, TEXAS_ROADHOUSE_DATA_DIR, TEXAS_ROADHOUSE_STATE_DIR, TEXAS_ROADHOUSE_CACHE_DIR.

• Resolution order is per-kind env var, --home, TEXAS_ROADHOUSE_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 texas-roadhouse-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": {
      "texas-roadhouse": {
        "command": "texas-roadhouse-pp-mcp",
        "env": {
          "TEXAS_ROADHOUSE_HOME": "/srv/texas-roadhouse"
        }
      }
    }
  }

Fleet precedence: an inherited per-kind env var overrides an explicit --home for that kind. Use TEXAS_ROADHOUSE_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 TEXAS_ROADHOUSE_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:

texas-roadhouse-pp-cli recall "<user's question>" --agent

The response envelope:

{
  "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>", "texas-roadhouse-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 `texas-roadhouse-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; texas-roadhouse-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.
• lookup_refresh_available (top-level): an entity in the query has no lookup row yet, but synced data could provide one. Run texas-roadhouse-pp-cli sync to refresh entity lookups.
• 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:

texas-roadhouse-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.
