Sncf Connect — Printing Press CLI
Prerequisites: Install the CLI
This skill drives the sncf-connect-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 sncf-connect --cli-only2. Verify: sncf-connect-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 1.26.4 or newer):
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/travel/sncf-connect/cmd/sncf-connect-pp-cli@latestIf --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.
When Not to Use This CLI
Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis.

Finding the right command
When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:
sncf-connect-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
Run sncf-connect-pp-cli auth setup to print the URL and steps for getting a key (add --launch to open the URL). Then set:
export SNCF_API_KEY="<your-key>"Or persist it in ~/.config/navitia-pp-cli/config.toml.
Run sncf-connect-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.
Agent Mode
Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.
- Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr
- Filterable —
--selectkeeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:
sncf-connect-pp-cli coverage get --agent --select id,name,status- Previewable —
--dry-runshows 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
- Read-only — do not use this CLI for create, update, delete, publish, comment, upvote, invite, order, send, or other mutating requests
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.
Agent Feedback
When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:
sncf-connect-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
sncf-connect-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
sncf-connect-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10Entries are stored locally at ~/.sncf-connect-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless SNCF_CONNECT_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or SNCF_CONNECT_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true. Default behavior is local-only.
Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.
Output Delivery
Every command accepts --deliver <sink>. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:
| Sink | Effect |
|---|---|
stdout | Default; write to stdout only |
file:<path> | Atomically write output to <path> (tmp + rename) |
webhook:<url> | POST the output body to the URL (application/json or application/x-ndjson when --compact) |
Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.
Named Profiles
A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.
sncf-connect-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
sncf-connect-pp-cli --profile briefing coverage get
sncf-connect-pp-cli profile list --json
sncf-connect-pp-cli profile show briefing
sncf-connect-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yesExplicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults. agent-context lists all available profiles under available_profiles so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.
Exit Codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Success |
| 2 | Usage error (wrong arguments) |
| 3 | Resource not found |
| 4 | Authentication required |
| 5 | API error (upstream issue) |
| 7 | Rate limited (wait and retry) |
| 10 | Config error |
Argument Parsing
Parse $ARGUMENTS:
1. Empty, `help`, or `--help` → show sncf-connect-pp-cli --help output 2. Starts with `install` → ends with mcp → MCP installation; otherwise → see Prerequisites above 3. Anything else → Direct Use (execute as CLI command with --agent)
MCP Server Installation
Install the MCP binary from this CLI's published public-library entry or pre-built release, then register it:
claude mcp add sncf-connect-pp-mcp -- sncf-connect-pp-mcpVerify: claude mcp list
Direct Use
1. Check if installed: which sncf-connect-pp-cli If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill). 2. Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above. 3. Execute with the --agent flag:
sncf-connect-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent4. If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help: sncf-connect-pp-cli <command> --help.
