Airbnb, Printing Press CLI
Prerequisites: Install the CLI
This skill drives the airbnb-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:
- Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to
$HOME/.local/binon macOS/Linux and%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\binon Windows:npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install airbnb --cli-only - Verify:
airbnb-pp-cli --version - Ensure the reported install directory is on
$PATHfor 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):
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/travel/airbnb/cmd/airbnb-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.
When to Use This CLI
Reach for this CLI when an agent or user names an Airbnb listing URL, asks about Airbnb fees or direct-booking savings, mentions 'book direct,' or wants to plan a trip across listings. The cheapest command is the headline; plan and compare extend it. The local store accumulates listings, hosts, and price history across sessions, so re-running queries gets faster and richer over time.
