# Pp Forkable > A CLI and MCP server for your Forkable office-lunch program, with a local database and history, spend, and preference queries the web app cannot answer, plus commands to set, confirm, and skip meal orders (dry-run by default; --confirm to apply). Trigger phrases: `what have I eaten on forkable`, `forkable lunch spend this month`, `which forkable venues do we use most`, `did my forkable meals match my dietary preferences`, `forkable week ahead`, `set my forkable meal`, `skip forkable tomorrow`, `use forkable`, `run forkable`. - Skill: `mvanhorn-printing-press-libra/pp-forkable` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds add mvanhorn-printing-press-libra/pp-forkable` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/mvanhorn-printing-press-libra/pp-forkable/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: AI & ML - License: Apache-2.0 - Author: mvanhorn (https://skillmd.com/u/mvanhorn-printing-press-libra) - Updated: 2026-09-09 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/mvanhorn-printing-press-libra/pp-forkable --- # Forkable — Printing Press CLI ## Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the `forkable-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 `$HOME/.local/bin` on macOS/Linux and `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin` on Windows: ```bash npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install forkable --cli-only ``` 2. Verify: `forkable-pp-cli --version` 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on `$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). This installs into `$GOPATH/bin` (default `$HOME/go/bin`), so add that directory to `$PATH` instead: ```bash go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/food-and-dining/forkable/cmd/forkable-pp-cli@latest ``` If `--version` reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on `$PATH`. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. Forkable exposes no public API. This CLI reverse-engineers the my-account app's GraphQL surface into a Go binary with clean read commands and agent-native output. On top of the raw reads it adds longitudinal views the product never shows — served-meal history, preference-vs-served drift, spend trends, allowance utilization, venue rotation, and a week-ahead digest — all fetched live from Forkable. It also exposes the my-account app's own meal-management mutations as meal set, meal set-all, meal confirm, meal skip, and reorder; these are dry-run by default and only place, confirm, or skip real orders when you pass --confirm. A fifth meal command, `meal feedback`, reports a problem with a delivered meal to Forkable via whichever of two real mechanisms actually handles it (both discovered by static analysis of the app's JS bundle, not documented anywhere): `addMemberReportedIssue`, a real GraphQL mutation for missing-item/missing-side reports with refund/credit resolution tracking and a same-day cutoff, or the REST "Contact Support" endpoint for everything else; see the Command Reference below. ## When to Use This CLI Use this CLI when an agent or script needs to query a Forkable office-lunch program from the terminal: what meals were served, how much was spent, which venues rotate, and whether served meals match stated dietary preferences. It is the only programmatic surface for Forkable and the only way to get longitudinal history the web app does not aggregate. It can also set, confirm, and skip upcoming meal deliveries on the user's behalf — those commands are dry-run by default and require `--confirm` to apply. All commands fetch live from Forkable (no local sync step). ## Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: - Do not place, change, or cancel meal orders without explicit user intent — the `meal set`, `meal set-all`, `meal confirm`, `meal skip`, and `reorder` commands mutate the real account and require `--confirm`; run them dry-run first and confirm the printed mutation before adding `--confirm`. - Do not use this CLI to add or remove club members or manage billing — use the Forkable web app. - Do not use this CLI for real-time delivery tracking notifications — those come via Forkable's email/Slack/SMS. - Do not run `meal feedback ... --confirm` without explicit user intent — like the four mutation commands above, it is a real, one-way action: it files an actual report or support request with Forkable and cannot be un-sent. Preview it first (the default, no-`--confirm` behavior) and confirm the printed request before adding `--confirm`. - Do not use `--category missing-item`/`missing-side` after Forkable's same-day cutoff (`reportMissingItemCutoff`, typically 1pm local restaurant time) — the mutation is server-side rejected past it. The CLI checks this proactively and fails fast with the cutoff time; fall back to `--category quality`/`other` to reach Forkable support through the always-available contact form instead. ## Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. ### Local history that compounds - **`served-history`** — See every meal actually served to you over time, with date, venue, price, and dietary level. _Reach for this when an agent needs a longitudinal view of what a person has eaten, not just the current delivery._ ```bash forkable-pp-cli served-history --since 90d --agent ``` - **`preference-drift`** — Flag served meals that violate your stated dislikes or dietary restrictions, or miss your likes. _Use this to audit whether auto-selection is actually honoring dietary preferences over time._ ```bash forkable-pp-cli preference-drift --since 60d --agent ``` - **`venue-rotation`** — Rank venues by how often they've served you and how recently. _Use this to spot venue fatigue or under-used favorites across the whole synced window._ ```bash forkable-pp-cli venue-rotation --since 120d --agent ``` ### Making the opaque legible - **`why-picked`** — Explain why a delivery's meal was auto-selected by ranking candidate items and their scores. _Pick this to explain a single day's auto-selected meal; use preference-drift for aggregate conformance._ ```bash forkable-pp-cli why-picked --delivery 1219480 --agent ``` ### Finance and allowances - **`spend-trend`** — Bucket lunch spend into per-week or per-month totals with CSV export. _Reach for this when finance needs a time series of lunch cost, not a single delivery receipt._ ```bash forkable-pp-cli spend-trend --since 6mo --by month --csv ``` - **`allowance-burn`** — Show granted-vs-consumed allowance utilization per club, including multi-club comparison. _Use this to see which teams are over- or under-using their lunch budget._ ```bash forkable-pp-cli allowance-burn --by club --csv ``` ### Agent-native plumbing - **`upcoming-digest`** — One agent-shaped line per upcoming day: date, venue, auto-selected item, price, allowance headroom. _Pick this for a quick 'what's coming this week' summary an agent can read in one shot._ ```bash forkable-pp-cli upcoming-digest --agent ``` ## Command Reference **account** — - `forkable-pp-cli account` — Show the authenticated Forkable user: profile, roles, dietary preferences (likes/dislikes/restrictions), companies **buffet_addresses** — - `forkable-pp-cli buffet-addresses` — List your buffet delivery addresses (street, city, postal code, coordinates, club). **clubs** — - `forkable-pp-cli clubs` — List meal clubs (teams/offices) you belong to or manage, with delivery address, delivery days, allowances **csrf** — - `forkable-pp-cli csrf` — Fetch a CSRF token. Read-only. **deliveries** — - `forkable-pp-cli deliveries in-progress-ids` — List IDs of deliveries currently in progress. - `forkable-pp-cli deliveries list` — List your meal deliveries from a given date forward, including per-delivery orders, chosen menu items, receipts **meal_scores** — - `forkable-pp-cli meal-scores` — Show meal auto-selection scores (menuId, itemId, score) for a delivery and user across candidate menus. **menus** — - `forkable-pp-cli menus` — Get menu(s) with venue, sections, items, prices, dietary levels, ratings, and modifiers. **notifications** — - `forkable-pp-cli notifications` — List account notifications shown in the my-account app (title, description, links, publish window). **venue_usage** — - `forkable-pp-cli venue-usage` — Get per-venue usage keyed by venue id over a date range. Requires venue ids and from/to dates inlined in the query. **Stale default dates on `deliveries list` and `venue-usage`.** These two raw GraphQL passthrough commands ship a default `--query` with an example date baked directly into the query text. Running either with no flags can silently return an empty or misleading result (e.g. `deliveries list` with no overrides returns `{"count":0}` even when real deliveries exist) rather than an error. Always override the date argument with a real date — today's date for forward-looking reads, or a far-past date (e.g. `2000-01-01`, as `served-history`/`allowance-burn` already do internally) for full-history reads — before trusting a zero/empty result from either command. Other passthrough reads (`menus`, `meal-scores`) instead ship placeholder ids that need replacing — see each command's own entry above. **meal management (writes)** — place real orders and spend; **dry-run by default**, pass `--confirm` to apply. - `forkable-pp-cli meal set --item --menu [--modifier :] [--replace-piece ] [--note ] [--confirm]` — Override the auto-picked meal for one delivery day (`replacePiece`). `--replace-piece` takes the current piece's UUID (from `deliveries list`). - `forkable-pp-cli meal set-all --deliveries --item --menu [--modifier :] [--confirm]` — Apply one meal item across several delivery days (`replaceAllPieces`). - `forkable-pp-cli meal confirm [--unconfirm] [--confirm]` — Confirm (or `--unconfirm`) a delivery day (`confirmDelivery`). - `forkable-pp-cli meal skip [--confirm]` — Skip / cancel one or more delivery days (`removeDelivery`); `--deliveries ` skips several. - `forkable-pp-cli reorder --onto [--replace-piece ] [--confirm]` — Repeat the meal you had on a past date onto an upcoming delivery day. - `forkable-pp-cli meal feedback --category [--note ] [--piece ] [--item ] [--venue ] [--request-refund|--request-credit] [--confirm]` — Report a problem with a delivered meal to Forkable, via whichever real mechanism actually handles the category (see below). Dry-run by default like the four mutations above. - `forkable-pp-cli meal feedback list [--limit N]` — Lists this CLI's own local record of past attempts. `forkable-pp-cli meal feedback list --delivery ` instead fetches Forkable's own `myReportedIssues` live for that delivery — the real ground truth for missing-item/missing-side reports (resolution, refund/credit status), bypassing the local ledger. **`meal feedback` uses two real mechanisms, picked by `--category` — neither is a GraphQL "mutation" in the everyday sense of the four above, and neither is documented anywhere.** 1. `--category missing-item`/`missing-side` → **`addMemberReportedIssue`**, a real GraphQL mutation (same `mutation ($input: ...!) {...}` wire shape as the four above) backing the my-account app's per-meal "Report Missing Item" widget. Discovered in the SPA bundle's module 372 (`MealReportIssue` component). Requires `--piece` (the piece/meal UUID from `deliveries list`/`served-history`); the order id is resolved automatically by looking up which order contains that piece. Ties into the courier's Onfleet delivery photos and supports `--request-refund`/`--request-credit` resolution tracking via a `myReportedIssues` field on the delivery. **Time-gated**: Forkable enforces a same-day cutoff (`delivery.reportMissingItemCutoff`, confirmed live as 1pm local restaurant time) — a submission after it is rejected server-side with a payload-level error. This CLI checks the cutoff proactively before attempting the mutation and fails fast with the exact time if it's already passed, rather than spending a live call on a doomed request. 2. `--category wrong-item`/`quality`/`late`/`other` → **`POST /submit_contact_form`**, a plain REST call (not GraphQL) behind the generic "Contact Support" modal, with `{name, email, subject, message, market_id}`. Discovered in the SPA bundle's module 29822 (`getSubjectOptions()`/`submitContactForm()`) — its own copy for "Other Issues" says outright "please use Forkable Support", i.e. Forkable's own UI routes here too for anything the dedicated missing-item flow doesn't cover. `--category` maps to Forkable's subject list (`wrong-item`/`quality`→"Report Issue", `late`→"Delivery Status", `other`→"General Inquiry"); delivery id/venue/item/piece have no dedicated field on this form, so they're folded into the message text alongside `--note`. Not time-gated — always available, including as a fallback once the missing-item cutoff has passed. Building an accurate preview for either mechanism touches the network even without `--confirm` (mechanism 1 resolves the order id from `--piece`; mechanism 2 resolves your name/email and the delivery's market id) — unlike the four mutations above, which preview fully offline. Every `--confirm` attempt (submitted or rejected by Forkable, either mechanism) is also appended to a local `meal-feedback.jsonl` ledger under the CLI's data dir — a preview-only run makes no live-writing attempt, so it is not logged. This ledger is separate from the top-level `feedback` command (which is for friction with this *CLI*, not with a *meal*). **`--replace-piece` is effectively always required for `meal set` and `reorder`.** Forkable auto-selects a candidate meal for every delivery day before you ever touch it — in practice there is no delivery day with a genuinely empty slot, so omitting `--replace-piece` is a rare/theoretical path, not the default case. **Dry-run mode does not validate this.** A dry-run without `--replace-piece` renders a plausible-looking mutation preview and only fails at `--confirm` time, with a raw GraphQL error (`oldPieceId ... Expected value to not be null`). Before running `--confirm`, always look up the target delivery's current piece id via `deliveries list` (its `orders[].pieces[].id`) and pass it with `--replace-piece`. `meal set-all` has no `--replace-piece` flag — `replaceAllPieces` takes no old-piece id at all, so this caveat doesn't apply to it. **Required item options — `--modifier`.** An item with a required option group (e.g. "Choose Protein", `min: 1`) is rejected by Forkable unless you send a selection. Pass `--modifier :[,...]` (repeatable) — the CLI builds the `selectionsHash` (`{"16":[10]}`) the `replacePiece` mutation needs. Find modifier and option ids under each item's `modifiers` in the `menus` output. Example: `forkable-pp-cli meal set 12345 --item 678 --menu 90 --modifier 16:10 --replace-piece --confirm`. ### Finding the right command When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly: ```bash forkable-pp-cli which "" ``` `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. ## Recipes ### What have I eaten this quarter ```bash forkable-pp-cli served-history --since 90d --agent --select date,venue,name,price ``` Longitudinal list of served meals, narrowed to the high-signal fields to keep agent context small. ### Audit dietary conformance ```bash forkable-pp-cli preference-drift --since 60d --json ``` Flags any served meal that conflicts with your stated dislikes or restrictions. ### Monthly lunch spend for finance ```bash forkable-pp-cli spend-trend --since 6mo --by month --csv ``` Per-month spend totals exported as CSV for a budget close. ### Which teams are burning their allowance ```bash forkable-pp-cli allowance-burn --by club --csv ``` Granted-vs-consumed allowance utilization per club, side by side. ### This week's lunch at a glance ```bash forkable-pp-cli upcoming-digest --agent ``` One compact line per upcoming day for a quick agent-readable briefing. ### Flag a problem with today's meal ```bash forkable-pp-cli meal feedback 12345 --category missing-item --note "Rice was missing, that was pictured" --piece --confirm forkable-pp-cli meal feedback list --delivery 12345 --agent ``` Files a real "Missing Meal" report with Forkable before the same-day cutoff (dry-run without `--confirm` — preview it first), then checks its live resolution status. Find the `deliveryId`/`--piece` via `upcoming-digest` or `deliveries list`. Past the cutoff, use `--category quality`/`other` instead to reach Forkable support through the always-available contact form. ## Auth Setup Forkable authenticates with a browser session cookie plus a per-request CSRF token fetched from /api/v2/csrf_token. Log in to forkable.com in Chrome, then run 'forkable-pp-cli auth login --chrome' to import your session. There is no API key. Run `forkable-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** — `--select` keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs: ```bash forkable-pp-cli buffet-addresses --query example-value --agent --select id,name,status ``` - **Previewable** — `--dry-run` shows the request without sending - **Safe writes** — read commands query Forkable; the write commands (`meal set`, `meal set-all`, `meal confirm`, `meal skip`, `reorder`, `meal feedback`) are dry-run by default and only mutate the account (or, for `meal feedback`, submit a real support request) when invoked with `--confirm` - **Live fetch** — commands query Forkable directly over GraphQL; there is no local sync/cache step - **Non-interactive** — never prompts, every input is a flag ### Response envelope Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope: ```json { "meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."}, "results": } ``` 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. ## Paths and state Agents should treat the CLI's path resolver as part of the runtime contract: - Use `--home ` for one invocation, or set `FORKABLE_HOME=` to relocate all four path kinds under one root. - Use per-kind env vars only when a specific kind must diverge: `FORKABLE_CONFIG_DIR`, `FORKABLE_DATA_DIR`, `FORKABLE_STATE_DIR`, `FORKABLE_CACHE_DIR`. - Resolution order is per-kind env var, `--home`, `FORKABLE_HOME`, XDG (`XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, `XDG_DATA_HOME`, `XDG_STATE_HOME`, `XDG_CACHE_HOME`), then platform defaults. - `config` contains settings like `config.toml` and profiles. `data` contains `credentials.toml`, `data.db`, cookies, and auth sidecars. `state` contains persisted queries, jobs, and `teach.log`. `cache` contains regenerable HTTP/cache files. - Stored secrets live in `credentials.toml` under the data dir. Existing legacy `config.toml` secrets are read for compatibility and leave `config.toml` on the first auth write. - Run `forkable-pp-cli doctor --fail-on warn` to surface path and credential-location warnings. `agent-context` exposes a schema v4 `paths` block for agents that need the resolved dirs. - For MCP, pass relocation through the MCP host config. The MCP binary does not inherit CLI flags: ```json { "mcpServers": { "forkable": { "command": "forkable-pp-mcp", "env": { "FORKABLE_HOME": "/srv/forkable" } } } } ``` Fleet precedence: an inherited per-kind env var overrides an explicit `--home` for that kind. Use `FORKABLE_HOME` or per-kind vars as durable fleet levers, and use `--home` only for a single invocation. Relocation is not reversible by unsetting env vars; move files manually before clearing `FORKABLE_HOME`, or `doctor` will not find credentials left under the former root. ## Automatic learning This CLI ships a self-capturing learning loop. The CLI does its own bookkeeping: every invocation is journaled locally, a failed flag followed by a corrected retry auto-derives a `flag_alias` candidate, and a `teach` on a query family without a playbook auto-synthesizes a `playbook_candidate` from the session's journal. Your job is judgment only: `recall` first, act on surfaced candidates, `teach` the final answer, `playbook amend` when you observe a correction. You never record failures by hand. ### Step 1: `recall` before any discovery Before list/search/drill commands on a new user question, run: ```bash forkable-pp-cli recall "" --agent ``` The response envelope: ```json { "query": "...", "normalized": "", "query_entities": ["..."], "found": true | false, "match_score": 0.0, "results": [ { "resource_id": "...", "resource_type": "...", "venue": "...", "confidence": 2, "entity_match": "exact|partial|unknown", "source": "taught|preseed|pattern", "warnings": ["..."] } ], "mismatches": [ /* only when --debug-mismatches */ ], "warnings": [ /* top-level */ ], "candidates": [ { "id": 12, "class": "flag_alias | playbook_candidate", "summary": "...", "sightings": 3, "last_seen": "...", "rationale": "...", "next_action": ["", "forkable-pp-cli learnings confirm 12"] } ], "playbook": { "query_family": "...", "playbook": { "steps": [ { "cmd": "", "purpose": "..." } ], "entity_slots": ["$ENTITY"], "expected_tool_calls": 3 }, "slots_resolved": { "$ENTITY": { "token": "", "canonical": "" } }, "notes": "" }, "notes": "" } ``` Empty-store short-circuit: if the store has no learnings, playbooks, or candidates yet (recall finds nothing and `learnings list` and `learnings candidates` are both empty), skip recall for the rest of this session instead of taxing every query; resume recall-first once something has been taught. ### Step 2: decision tree Read `candidates`, `playbook`, `notes`, `results[0]`, and warnings in that order: ``` if Candidates present (warnings include "candidates_present"): -> candidates are try-then-confirm, never facts. Follow each candidate's two-step next_action verbatim: run the trial command first, then run `learnings confirm ` only after the trial verified the behavior. Reject a wrong candidate with `learnings reject `. -> NEVER re-teach something recall surfaced as a candidate; confirm or reject that candidate instead of teaching a duplicate. -> candidates ride alongside playbooks and resource hits, not instead of them; continue with the branches below after acting on them. if Playbook present: -> READ Playbook.notes verbatim FIRST (workarounds + gotchas the CLI surface doesn't expose) -> replay Playbook.steps in order, substituting Playbook.slots_resolved entries for the entity slot tokens. If a step's slot is unresolved, fall back to discovery for that step only. -> the Playbook's expected_tool_calls is a budget; if you find yourself running materially more, record the divergence via `forkable-pp-cli playbook amend` at end-of-session. elif Notes present (no Playbook): -> read Notes verbatim before any discovery step; they carry known gotchas for this query family even when no structured choreography exists yet. elif Found AND Results[0].EntityMatch == "exact" AND Results[0].Confidence >= 2: -> skip discovery; fetch live data for Results[*].ResourceID in parallel elif Found AND Results[0].EntityMatch == "partial": -> candidate hint, NOT a hit; read the resource title to validate before trusting elif (any row in Mismatches[] when --debug-mismatches was passed): -> treat as cold start; the stored learning is for a different entity (different canonical resolved from query_entities) else: // Found == false, no playbook, no notes -> cold start; run discovery normally; teach the answer afterward (Step 4). If the family has no playbook yet, that teach auto-synthesizes a playbook candidate from this session's journal - you do not need to record one by hand. ``` Playbook and Notes are orthogonal to the per-resource path. A recall response can carry both a Playbook AND a `Results[]` hit - use both: the Playbook tells you which choreography to run; the resource hits short-circuit specific steps. Default to skipping `mismatches`; pass `--debug-mismatches` only when investigating cold-start surprises. Candidate judgment details: `learnings confirm ` prints the candidate's full payload before materializing it - check that the printed payload matches the behavior you verified. `learnings reject ` tombstones the derivation signature so the same candidate does not resurface. The envelope carries only the few candidates worth acting on now; `forkable-pp-cli learnings candidates` lists the full open set. Graceful degradation: if `learnings confirm` is an unknown command, you are driving an older binary - ignore the candidates guidance and follow the rest of the protocol. ### Step 3: always read `warnings` - `low_confidence`: row exists at `confidence<2`. Treat as a hint, not a skip-discovery hit. - `resource_not_in_store`: the local store doesn't have the resource the learning points at. The match validator couldn't classify entities — direct-fetch and re-evaluate. - `cross_alias_match` (per-result): the row was taught under a different alias and matched the live query's canonical via `entity_lookups` (e.g., a "USA" teach satisfying a "United States" recall). Trust the resource_id. - `similar_shape_different_entity:` (top-level): a structurally matching row exists but its canonical entity differs from the live query's. Treated as cold start; the warning carries the conflicting canonical as a hint, but the row is NOT promoted into Results. - `ambiguous_alias` (top-level): a single query entity resolved to multiple canonicals (e.g., "Cards" → Arizona Cardinals + St. Louis Cardinals). Surface the ambiguity from context before committing to a resource. - `candidates_present` (top-level): the envelope carries a `candidates` section. Handle it via the candidates branch in Step 2 before anything else. - `lookup_refresh_available` (top-level): an entity in the query has no lookup row yet. This CLI fetches live (no sync command); populate lookups by running the relevant read command (e.g. `deliveries list`, `clubs list`). - Top-level `no_learnings_for_query_family`: the table had no rows above the Jaccard floor. Pure cold start. ### Step 4: `teach &` after finalizing your response - always Teaching is unconditional. After resolving a query the store could not answer, background-teach the final resource mapping - no call-count threshold, no judging whether it was "worth" learning. The teach is the anchor of the loop: it triggers playbook synthesis for a family without a playbook, and same-referent phrasings fold into one family so near-duplicate teaches do not fragment the store. Fire it after assembling your user-facing response but BEFORE emitting it, with a shell `&` so the call returns immediately: ```bash forkable-pp-cli teach --query "" --resource-type --resource --resource # (append shell `&` to background it) ``` Silent on success. Errors only land in `teach.log` under the resolved state dir. Teach the **most specific** resource - if the user asked a broad question and you walked through parent records to find the specific answer, teach the leaf id, not the parent. The CLI uses seeded `entity_lookups` for cross-alias resolution at recall time, so a teach under one alias (e.g., "Niners") satisfies future queries under another alias (e.g., "49ers", "San Francisco") automatically. PII rule: teach the structural question with identifiers stripped - never include names, emails, phone numbers, account ids, or other personal identifiers in taught queries or notes. The CLI scans teach queries for obvious email/phone shapes and warns, but does not block; strip before teaching rather than relying on the warning. ### Step 5: playbooks - optional flags, automatic synthesis You do not need to decide whether a session "deserves" a playbook: a teach on a family without one auto-synthesizes a `playbook_candidate` from the session's journal, and the next session judges it via confirm/reject. Attach explicit playbook flags only when you already hold choreography worth recording verbatim - workarounds the CLI didn't surface (silently-dropped flags, undocumented params, pagination tricks, payload gotchas). Prefer the **integrated one-call form** - record the resource learning and the playbook in the same `teach` invocation: ```bash # Common case: record both the resource learning AND the playbook in one call. forkable-pp-cli teach \ --query "" \ --resource \ --playbook-file ~/playbooks/.json \ --playbook-notes-file ~/playbooks/-notes.md # (append shell `&` to background it) # Alternate: playbook-only (no resource to record alongside). forkable-pp-cli teach-playbook \ --query "" \ --playbook-file ~/playbooks/.json \ --notes-file ~/playbooks/-notes.md ``` Playbook files are JSON with `steps`, `entity_slots`, `expected_tool_calls`. Notes files are markdown carrying the gotchas verbatim. File-free callers (MCP-only agents) pass the same content inline: `--playbook-json` and `--playbook-notes` on the integrated `teach` form, `--playbook-json` and `--notes` on `teach-playbook`. On the integrated `teach` form, the playbook flags are optional - omit them entirely for a resource-only teach. On the standalone `teach-playbook` form, at least one of the playbook and notes flags must be set; both empty is rejected. Playbooks are keyed on the structural query family (entities stripped) so a recipe taught from one entity-shaped query applies to every other query of the same shape, with `slots_resolved` binding the live query's canonical at recall time. When you DO find a playbook on a future recall, treat it as ground truth: replay the steps with `slots_resolved` substitutions, skip the discovery that the choreography already documents, and read `notes` before any step. ### Step 6: `playbook amend &` when your debug response identifies a correction If your debug-protocol response identifies a concrete correction the notes or playbook should know — a workaround, an undocumented endpoint shape, a stale field name, observed schema drift, an empty-payload fallback — fire `playbook amend` BEFORE emitting your user-facing response. Same fire-and-forget posture as `teach`. ```bash forkable-pp-cli playbook amend \ --query "" \ --add-note "" # (append shell `&` to background it) ``` What counts as worth amending: a behavior you OBSERVED this session that future-you would benefit from knowing. Examples worth amending: - A workaround for a CLI surface that silently drops or misorders a flag. - An undocumented endpoint shape (response wrapped in `{meta, results}`, payload nested two levels deeper than the docs claim). - Observed schema drift (a field renamed, an index that shifted between seasons, a category label that the API now returns lower-cased). What does NOT belong in notes: - The year-specific or entity-specific answer to the user's question. That's the response, not a learning. - Per-team / per-athlete / per-row data the playbook already retrieves at runtime. - Statements that paraphrase what the existing notes already say. The amend command appends to the family's existing notes with a timestamped marker (`[amend YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MMZ]: `). Multiple amends accumulate; the audit trail is visible. If no playbook exists yet for the family, amend creates a notes-only one (so cold-start corrections still land). #### PII discipline for amend notes `playbook amend` notes are designed to potentially flow upstream as shared knowledge in future versions of the Printing Press. Keep them clean of user-identifying content so the upstream-contribution path stays open without retroactive scrubbing: - **Do NOT embed** paths to user filesystems, personal API keys or tokens, user email addresses, user GitHub handles, or specific query histories tied to a single user. - **Acceptable**: endpoint shapes, undocumented field names, API gotchas, observed schema drift, workarounds for CLI surfaces, generalizable pagination or retry tactics. If a correction is only meaningful with user-specific context, it belongs in a personal note, not in the playbook amend. ### Measuring the loop `forkable-pp-cli learnings stats` reports recall hit rate, teach-to-reuse, playbook resolution rate, and candidate confirm/reject counts from the local `learn_events` table. Rates are null until they have a denominator; everything stays on this machine. Use it to check whether the loop is earning its keep for this CLI. ### Disabling learning - `--no-learn` on a single command short-circuits both `recall` and the `teach` write path. Use for deterministic agent flows or tests that must not be affected by accumulated learnings. - `FORKABLE_NO_LEARN=true` in the environment globally disables the pipeline. ## Agent Feedback When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it: ``` forkable-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive" forkable-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt forkable-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10 ``` Entries are stored locally as `feedback.jsonl` under the resolved data dir. They are never POSTed unless `FORKABLE_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT` is set AND either `--send` is passed or `FORKABLE_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. **This is CLI-tool feedback, not meal feedback.** If a delivered meal itself had a problem (missing item, wrong item, quality), use `meal feedback --category ... --confirm` instead (see Command Reference) — unlike this command, it actually reaches Forkable (a real GraphQL mutation for missing-item/missing-side, or a real contact-form POST for everything else), tied to a `deliveryId`/`piece`/`orderId` so the report is actionable. This `feedback` command stays local-only; `meal feedback` does not. ## Output Delivery Every command accepts `--deliver `. 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:` | Atomically write output to `` (tmp + rename) | | `webhook:` | 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 or recurring agent reuses the same saved flags while providing different input each run. ``` forkable-pp-cli profile save briefing --json forkable-pp-cli --profile briefing buffet-addresses --query example-value forkable-pp-cli profile list --json forkable-pp-cli profile show briefing forkable-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes ``` Explicit 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 `forkable-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 1. Install the MCP server: ```bash go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/food-and-dining/forkable/cmd/forkable-pp-mcp@latest ``` 2. Register with Claude Code: ```bash claude mcp add forkable-pp-mcp -- forkable-pp-mcp ``` 3. Verify: `claude mcp list` ## Direct Use 1. Check if installed: `which forkable-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: ```bash forkable-pp-cli [subcommand] [args] --agent ``` 4. If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help: `forkable-pp-cli --help`.
