Unipile — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the unipile-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 unipile --cli-only

2. Verify: unipile-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/unipile/cmd/unipile-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.

Unipile unified LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Messenger, X, Gmail, Outlook, IMAP, and calendars into one API, then stopped at the API. This is the missing operator layer: the full endpoint surface as shell-native commands with structured errors and cursor auto-pagination, a local SQLite mirror that answers cross-provider questions no single call can, and a budget command that counts invitations already sent against the caps LinkedIn enforces but Unipile does not.

When to Use This CLI

Reach for this CLI when a task touches messages, email, calendars, or LinkedIn activity across more than one provider, or when the answer requires history rather than a single live call. It is the right tool for triaging a unified inbox, building follow-up lists from prior conversations, measuring outreach conversion, and staying under LinkedIn's rate caps. It is also the fastest path to any single Unipile endpoint from a shell or a script.

Anti-triggers

Do not use this CLI for:

• Do not use this CLI for Unipile API v2; this targets v1 and v2 tenants use a different DSN and endpoint surface.
• Do not use this CLI to connect a brand new provider account interactively; the hosted auth wizard in the Unipile dashboard is the supported path for first-time OAuth and QR flows.
• Do not use this CLI as a webhook receiver; it can register webhooks but your own server must accept the callbacks.
• Do not use this CLI to bulk-send invitations beyond what 'budget' reports as remaining; exceeding LinkedIn's caps risks restricting the underlying account.

Unique Capabilities

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

Account safety

• budget — See how many LinkedIn invitations you have left today and this week, counted from your synced invitation history.

  Check this before any bulk invitation run so you do not get the underlying LinkedIn account restricted.

  unipile-pp-cli budget --agent

Local state that compounds

• search — Full-text search every message, email, attendee, and relation across all connected providers at once, offline.

  Use this instead of N per-provider list calls when you need to find where something was said.

  unipile-pp-cli search "pricing" --agent --limit 20

• digest — What changed across every connected provider since the last sync.

  Run this after sync to get a single catch-up summary instead of polling nine surfaces.

  unipile-pp-cli digest --agent

Cross-provider views

• contact — Everything the local mirror knows about one person: connection state, invitation history, and every conversation with per-direction message counts.

  Reach for this before writing to someone, so the message is informed by every prior touch across every provider.

  unipile-pp-cli contact "Lakshya" --agent

• inbox — One table of everything unread across LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Messenger, and email.

  This is the daily triage view; use it to decide what to answer before opening any provider UI.

  unipile-pp-cli inbox --agent --limit 25

• thread — Read one conversation end to end with attendee IDs resolved to real names.

  Use this when you need the full context of a conversation in one readable payload.

  unipile-pp-cli thread --chat example-chat-id --agent

Outreach loop

• silent — Find conversations where you sent the last message and got no reply for N days.

  Use this to build a follow-up list without re-reading every thread.

  unipile-pp-cli silent --days 7 --agent

• accepted — New LinkedIn connections since your last sync that you have not messaged yet.

  This is the highest-conversion follow-up queue in outreach; use it right after a sync.

  unipile-pp-cli accepted --since 7d --agent

• funnel — Sent, accepted, and replied counts with conversion rates over a time window.

  Use this to judge whether outreach copy is working before scaling send volume.

  unipile-pp-cli funnel --weeks 4 --agent

• engagement — Who reacted to or commented on your posts, flagged by whether they are already a connection.

  Use this to turn warm post engagement into a targeted invitation list.

  unipile-pp-cli engagement --agent --limit 20

Finding the right command

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

unipile-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

Daily triage

unipile-pp-cli inbox --agent --select items.provider,items.name,items.last_message,items.timestamp

Returns only the four fields needed to decide what to answer, instead of the full chat payload for every unread conversation.

Follow-up queue

unipile-pp-cli silent --days 5 --agent

Lists conversations where you spoke last and nobody replied, which is the list worth acting on today.

Safe outreach check

unipile-pp-cli budget --agent

Reports remaining daily and weekly LinkedIn invitation and profile-view headroom before a send run starts.

Warm connection targets

unipile-pp-cli engagement --agent --limit 20

Shows who engaged with your posts and is not yet a connection, which converts far better than cold invitations.

Find where something was said

unipile-pp-cli search "contract" --agent --limit 15

Searches messages and emails across every provider from the local mirror, with no API call and no per-provider loop.

Auth Setup

Unipile authenticates with an Access Token sent as the X-API-KEY header, and every customer gets their own DSN base URL. Set UNIPILE_API_KEY to your token and UNIPILE_BASE_URL to your DSN from the Unipile dashboard. If your environment blocks custom ports, Unipile also accepts the port as a query parameter on standard 443.

Run unipile-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:

  unipile-pp-cli accounts list --agent --select connection_params,created_at,current_signature

• 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 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, 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 UNIPILE_HOME=<dir> to relocate all four path kinds under one root.

• Use per-kind env vars only when a specific kind must diverge: UNIPILE_CONFIG_DIR, UNIPILE_DATA_DIR, UNIPILE_STATE_DIR, UNIPILE_CACHE_DIR.

• Resolution order is per-kind env var, --home, UNIPILE_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 unipile-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": {
      "unipile": {
        "command": "unipile-pp-mcp",
        "env": {
          "UNIPILE_HOME": "/srv/unipile"
        }
      }
    }
  }

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