Printing Press — agent-native CLIs from a single prompt

NOW PRINTING·PL. A<br>Welcome to the Printing Press.Print an agent-native CLI for any API, app, or site — from a single prompt. Or install one the community already made.

From an API spec, from a website with no public API, from a beloved community fan project - one prompt prints a token-efficient Go CLI, a Claude Code skill, an OpenClaw skill, and an MCP server. Peter Steinberger showed the way with discrawl and gogcli: a local SQLite mirror beats a remote API call, compound commands beat ten round trips, and an agent-native CLI beats raw HTTP. The press bakes that playbook into every binary it prints. Muscle memory for agents.<br>Every API has a secret identity.<br>Discord isn't just a chat app - it's a searchable knowledge base. Linear isn't just an issue tracker - it's a team behavior observatory. The Printing Press finds that secret and builds the CLI around it.
