Printing Press Reprint

# /printing-press-reprint

Regenerate an existing printed CLI under the current machine. The user gives
a CLI name and (optionally) reasons for the reprint. This skill ensures the
prior CLI is locally present, recommends whether to reuse or redo prior
research, and hands off to `/printing-press` with the context the
novel-features subagent needs to reconcile prior features against the
current machine — keep, reframe, or drop with reasons, never silent.

```bash
/printing-press-reprint notion
/printing-press-reprint cal.com  the new MCP intent surface landed and the prior CLI ships endpoint-mirror only
/printing-press-reprint allrecipes
```

## When to run

- A significant Printing Press upgrade (new MCP surface, new auth modes, new
  transport, scoring rubric changes) would lift this CLI more than manual
  polish.
- The published CLI ships with a known systemic gap a reprint would fix.
- The user wants prior novel features re-evaluated against the current
  machine and current personas, not carried forward verbatim.

For one-off code-quality fixes, prefer `/printing-press-polish` — it doesn't
redo research or rebuild the manuscript.

## Setup

```bash
PRESS_HOME="${PRINTING_PRESS_HOME:-$HOME/printing-press}"
PRESS_LIBRARY="$PRESS_HOME/library"
PRESS_MANUSCRIPTS="$PRESS_HOME/manuscripts"

# Mid-pipeline callers may pass printing_press_bin: <abs-path> in the args
# bundle. Prefer it so reprint keeps using the parent skill's preflight-selected
# binary instead of re-resolving through PATH.
PRINTING_PRESS_BIN="${PRINTING_PRESS_BIN:-}"
if [ -z "$PRINTING_PRESS_BIN" ] && [ -n "${ARGUMENTS:-}" ]; then
  PRINTING_PRESS_BIN="$(printf '%s\n' "$ARGUMENTS" | sed -nE 's/^[[:space:]]*printing_press_bin:[[:space:]]*(.+)$/\1/p' | head -1)"
fi
if [ -z "$PRINTING_PRESS_BIN" ]; then
  PRINTING_PRESS_BIN="$(command -v cli-printing-press 2>/dev/null || true)"
fi

if [ -z "$PRINTING_PRESS_BIN" ]; then
  echo "cli-printing-press binary not found."
  echo "Install with:  go install github.com/mvanhorn/cli-printing-press/v4/cmd/cli-printing-press@latest"
  return 1 2>/dev/null || exit 1
fi
echo "PRINTING_PRESS_BIN=$PRINTING_PRESS_BIN"
```

## Phase A — Resolve and reconcile presence

Resolve the user's argument the same way `/printing-press-import` does:
fetch the public library `registry.json` once, then exact → normalized →
fuzzy match. The argument can be an API slug (`notion`), a brand name
(`cal.com`), an old `<api>-pp-cli` form, or close enough.

Capture from the matched registry entry: `API_SLUG` (from `.name`) and
`LIB_PATH` (from `.path`, e.g., `library/productivity/cal-com`). Phase B
uses `$LIB_PATH` for the public patches fetch. For the "present | absent"
never-published row, `$LIB_PATH` stays empty — Phase B's fetch
short-circuits on that.

Then check what exists locally and reconcile against the public library by
reading both provenance manifests' `run_id` and `generated_at`:

| Local | Public registry | Action |
|-------|-----------------|--------|
| absent | absent | STOP — nothing to reprint; suggest `/printing-press <api>` for a fresh print |
| absent | present | invoke `/printing-press-import <api>`, then continue |
| present | absent | continue — n
