What it does

The apartment-hunt CLI that actually works in 2026, Surf-cleared bot protection plus a local SQLite store the website itself doesn't have. Trigger phrases: `find apartments in <city>`, `watch apartment listings for <area>`, `rank rentals by price per square foot`, `compare these apartments`, `use apartments-pp-cli`, `run apartments`.

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the apartments-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 apartments --cli-only
    
  2. Verify: apartments-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):

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/other/apartments/cmd/apartments-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.
