What it does

Pp Yamato is an agent skill from mvanhorn/printing-press-library. Plan Japan luggage forwarding using Yamato public route tariffs, estimated dates, airport shipping deadlines, parcel sizing, counter evidence and limited same-day schedules. Use for TA-Q-BIN planning or when asked to run yamato.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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.

When your agent uses it

  • TA-Q-BIN planning
  • Asked to run yamato

Example prompts

  • “/pp-yamato”

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: yamato-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:

    • 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 Yamato loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 832 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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.

Yamato luggage planning

Use the local yamato-pp-cli for public Japan luggage planning. Verify yamato-pp-cli --version; if unavailable, build/install from the provided source directory following README.md. Public planning uses HTTP and needs no login, API key or browser.

Local build status

This CLI is currently local and has not been published to the catalog. Build/install from the supplied source directory using README.md. The canonical catalog install instructions below apply after a separately authorized publication.

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the yamato-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 yamato --cli-only
  2. Verify: yamato-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/travel/yamato/cmd/yamato-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.

Measure luggage, compare distinct TA-Q-BIN products, and query current public rates and estimated delivery dates. Airport terminal and limited same-day evidence preserve cutoff and acceptance uncertainty.

When to use

Answer route-rate, source calendar deadline, measured luggage category, airport terminal, counter or product-eligibility questions. Real shipments, payment, private tracking and account changes are outside this CLI's scope.

Workflow

  1. Measure packed dimensions in cm and weight in kg. Run parcel; retain both categories, the greater chargeable size, rejection reasons and unknown acceptance.
  2. Choose the distinct product. Standard takkyubin uses postal origin/destination. airport and airport-roundtrip require an exact live terminal ID from airports. Lodging roundtrip uses postal origin/destination.
  3. Use a real current/future JST date and its correct meaning: ship, standard delivery, airport boarding, or lodging use. Query quote with the chargeable size; use --detail only when a full tariff comparison is needed.
  4. Inspect products, counters or same-day for eligibility/cutoff evidence. Retain source timestamps and URLs, rate basis/fees and explicit unknowns in the answer.
  5. Stop when the required records and source evidence are present. If the source fails or a PDF/image changes, use the stated public handoff URL and preserve the gap.

Recipes

parcel
bash
yamato-pp-cli parcel --length 70 --width 45 --height 30 --weight 23 --agent

Classify both size and weight and preserve acceptance unknowns.

quote
bash
yamato-pp-cli quote --origin 1000005 --destination 6008216 --date 2026-10-08 --size 160 --agent

Use a current/future JST date and correct date-kind. Read current source tariffs and an estimated arrival or shipping deadline; acceptance remains unknown.

airports
bash
yamato-pp-cli airports --query 成田 --agent --select results

Use live upstream airport codes and Japanese terminal names.

counters
bash
yamato-pp-cli counters --query Narita --agent

Inspect public send/pickup/floor evidence and fingerprint-checked image hours.

same-day
bash
yamato-pp-cli same-day --query Narita --agent

Inspect limited-area cutoff schedules and separate example prices.

products
bash
yamato-pp-cli products --service airport --agent

Review live service policy evidence for standard, airport, roundtrip and same-day products.

Output and decisions

Use --agent or --json; planning results are {meta,results} with source timestamps, URLs, response bytes, SHA-256, request count and latency. --select results.items narrows a list, and --limit/--offset page airport/counter matches. Empty matches are []. --timeout bounds the whole command. Optional-source errors are explicit in meta.fetch_failures; throttles exit 7. Use --dry-run --json for a source-free preview.

Rates are tax-inclusive list tariffs per parcel. Relevant source tables already include outbound airport 660 JPY and roundtrip reductions; do not deduct them again. Conditional member/dropoff/digital discounts, packaging and optional fees require their source conditions. Confirm Kansai return airport charges.

Dates are estimated, not guaranteed. A shipping deadline date has an unknown counter dispatch time. Closing hours do not establish dispatch cutoff. Confirm hotel reception, parcel contents/packaging, counter acceptance, holidays, disruptions and islands before treating a plan as feasible.

The same-day command covers nine selected Narita/Haneda airport-to-hotel rows; price examples are separate, and all other routes/directions use the full source PDF/directory. Current PDF/image hashes must match verified snapshots for schedules or Narita Terminal 2 hours to be returned. Other image-only hours remain unknown.

parcel is a dated rule snapshot; live planning commands reject --data-source local. --no-learn disables optional local learning for deterministic workflows. Consult README.md for build, MCP, source limits and evidence.
