# Pp Fpi India > The full history of Foreign Portfolio Investor flows into India, synced locally and queryable offline — something neither NSDL nor CDSL offers today. Trigger phrases: `FPI flows into India`, `foreign portfolio investor data`, `NSDL FPI report`, `FII DII flow India`, `check FPI net investment`, `use fpi-india`, `run fpi-india`. - Skill: `mvanhorn-printing-press-libra/pp-fpi-india` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds add mvanhorn-printing-press-libra/pp-fpi-india` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/mvanhorn-printing-press-libra/pp-fpi-india/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Docs & Writing - 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-fpi-india --- # FPI India — Printing Press CLI ## Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the `fpi-india-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 `$HOME/.local/bin` on macOS/Linux and `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin` on Windows: ```bash npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install fpi-india --cli-only ``` 2. Verify: `fpi-india-pp-cli --version` 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on `$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 `$PATH` instead: ```bash go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/other/fpi-india/cmd/fpi-india-pp-cli@latest ``` If `--version` reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on `$PATH`. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. NSDL and CDSL publish authoritative FPI investment data, but only as ASP.NET report pages with a client-side Excel export button — no API, no bulk historical download, no scriptable access. fpi-india syncs the full net-investment series back to 1992-93, plus AUC, sector rotation, trade data, and the FPI registry, into a local SQLite database you can query, trend, and pipe. ## When to Use This CLI Use this CLI for historical or current Indian FPI investment flow analysis: net-investment trends, year-over-year and streak analysis, sector rotation, assets-under-custody trends, FPI registry lookups, and regulatory limit utilization. It is the right tool whenever a task needs NSDL/CDSL FPI data queried, trended, or compared rather than eyeballed from a report page. ## Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: - Do not use this CLI for live/real-time trade execution or order placement — it is a read-only data and analytics tool. - Do not use this CLI for individual investor portfolio holdings or demat account data — NSDL/CDSL's FPI reports are aggregate market-level data, not account-level. - Do not use this CLI for forward-looking flow forecasts or investment advice — every command surfaces historical, already-published figures only. ## Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. ### Local state that compounds - **`net-investment yoy`** — See this year's FPI net flow next to the same period last year, delta computed automatically. _Reach for this when a request compares FPI flow across two adjacent years instead of listing raw rows._ ```bash fpi-india-pp-cli net-investment yoy --asset equity --year 2024 --json ``` - **`sector rotation`** — Rank which sectors saw the biggest FPI inflow/outflow swing between the two most recent synced periods. _Use this for 'what sector are FPIs rotating into/out of' instead of a single-period sector snapshot._ ```bash fpi-india-pp-cli sector rotation --top 5 --period latest --json ``` - **`limits utilization`** — See what percentage of the regulatory FPI investment cap a sector or debt category has used. _Use this to flag sectors approaching a regulatory FPI cap, which can trigger a trading halt._ ```bash fpi-india-pp-cli limits utilization --sector Banking --json ``` - **`net-investment streaks`** — See how many consecutive fortnights/years FPIs have been net buyers or sellers, and the most recent flip. _Use this for 'how many periods in a row' questions instead of scanning raw historical rows._ ```bash fpi-india-pp-cli net-investment streaks --asset equity --json ``` - **`auc trend`** — Track how a country's or category's share of assets under custody has changed across synced snapshots. _Use this once at least two snapshots are synced to see custody-share direction, not a single-point value._ ```bash fpi-india-pp-cli auc trend --by country --country Mauritius --json ``` - **`net-investment extremes`** — Find the largest single-period FPI inflows or outflows across the full 1992-93-to-present series. _Use this for 'biggest ever' / superlative questions about historical FPI flow._ ```bash fpi-india-pp-cli net-investment extremes --asset equity --top 10 --json ``` - **`net-investment trend`** — See the rolling growth-rate and direction of FPI net flow over a window of recent periods. _Use this for a derived growth-rate/direction view, not raw historical rows (use 'net-investment fy'/'cy'/'quarterly'/'latest' for those)._ ```bash fpi-india-pp-cli net-investment trend --asset equity --period fy --window 12 --json ``` ### Reachability mitigation - **`cdsl diff`** — Compare NSDL's and CDSL's figures for the same date and flag any mismatch. _Use this to cross-check the two Indian depositories' published figures for the same date._ ```bash fpi-india-pp-cli cdsl diff --date 09072026 --json ``` ## Command Reference **auc** — FPI assets under custody (AUC), by country and by category - `fpi-india-pp-cli auc category` — FPI AUC category-wise data - `fpi-india-pp-cli auc country` — FPI AUC country-wise data (top 10 countries) **cdsl_reports** — CDSL daily FPI snapshot publication index and dated XLS snapshot download - `fpi-india-pp-cli cdsl-reports listing` — Index page listing recent dated FPI snapshot XLS files - `fpi-india-pp-cli cdsl-reports snapshot` — Dated daily FPI snapshot file (date format DDMMYYYY, e.g. 09072026) **limits** — Per-company (ISIN) foreign investment limits: NRI limit %, FPI limit %, sectoral cap %, and current monitored FPI holding count - `fpi-india-pp-cli limits` — Per-ISIN foreign investment limit monitoring data **net_investment** — Historical FPI net-investment flows by asset class (equity, debt, hybrid, mutual funds, AIF), financial year and calendar year - `fpi-india-pp-cli net-investment cy` — Calendar-year FPI net-investment series, with monthly breakdown when a specific year is requested - `fpi-india-pp-cli net-investment fy` — Full financial-year FPI net-investment series (1992-93 to present) - `fpi-india-pp-cli net-investment latest` — Latest fortnight FPI net-investment snapshot - `fpi-india-pp-cli net-investment quarterly` — Quarterly FPI net-investment details (calendar year) **registry** — Registered FPI list, registration category counts, and DDP pendency - `fpi-india-pp-cli registry categories` — FPI category-wise registration counts - `fpi-india-pp-cli registry list` — List of registered FPIs/FIIs - `fpi-india-pp-cli registry pendency` — DDP-wise pendency of FPI applications **sector** — Fortnightly sector-wise FPI investment data - `fpi-india-pp-cli sector` — Fortnightly sector-wise FPI investment activity **trades** — Trade-wise FPI equity and debt data - `fpi-india-pp-cli trades debt` — Trade-wise debt data of FPI - `fpi-india-pp-cli trades equity` — Trade-wise equity data of FPI ### Finding the right command When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly: ```bash fpi-india-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 ### Full historical equity flow series ```bash fpi-india-pp-cli net-investment fy --json --select period,total,cumulative_total ``` Narrow a 30+ year series down to just the fields needed for a chart or note. ### This fortnight vs last year, same fortnight ```bash fpi-india-pp-cli net-investment yoy --asset equity --year 2024 ``` The Monday-morning commentary workflow: one command instead of loading two pages and subtracting by hand. ### What sector is money rotating into ```bash fpi-india-pp-cli sector rotation --top 5 --period latest ``` Ranks period-over-period sector deltas instead of a single period's absolute figures. ### Is any sector near its FPI investment cap ```bash fpi-india-pp-cli limits utilization --sector Banking ``` Joins synced limits against synced investment totals to compute percent-of-cap used. ### Biggest FPI outflow ever recorded ```bash fpi-india-pp-cli net-investment extremes --asset equity --top 10 ``` Deterministic ranking over the full synced history for journalist-style superlative questions. ## Auth Setup No authentication required. Run `fpi-india-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 fpi-india-pp-cli limits --action GetFilmReport_Detail --u-name example-resource --agent --select id,name,status ``` - **Previewable** — `--dry-run` shows 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: ```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 `FPI_INDIA_HOME=` to relocate all four path kinds under one root. - Use per-kind env vars only when a specific kind must diverge: `FPI_INDIA_CONFIG_DIR`, `FPI_INDIA_DATA_DIR`, `FPI_INDIA_STATE_DIR`, `FPI_INDIA_CACHE_DIR`. - Resolution order is per-kind env var, `--home`, `FPI_INDIA_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 `fpi-india-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": { "fpi-india": { "command": "fpi-india-pp-mcp", "env": { "FPI_INDIA_HOME": "/srv/fpi-india" } } } } ``` Fleet precedence: an inherited per-kind env var overrides an explicit `--home` for that kind. Use `FPI_INDIA_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 `FPI_INDIA_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 fpi-india-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": ["", "fpi-india-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 `fpi-india-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; `fpi-india-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, but synced data could provide one. Run `fpi-india-pp-cli sync` to refresh entity lookups. - 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 fpi-india-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. fpi-india-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). fpi-india-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 fpi-india-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 `fpi-india-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. - `FPI_INDIA_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: ``` fpi-india-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive" fpi-india-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt fpi-india-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10 ``` Entries are stored locally as `feedback.jsonl` under the resolved data dir. They are never POSTed unless `FPI_INDIA_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT` is set AND either `--send` is passed or `FPI_INDIA_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 `. 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. ``` fpi-india-pp-cli profile save briefing --json fpi-india-pp-cli --profile briefing limits --action GetFilmReport_Detail --u-name example-resource fpi-india-pp-cli profile list --json fpi-india-pp-cli profile show briefing fpi-india-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 | | 5 | API error (upstream issue) | | 7 | Rate limited (wait and retry) | | 10 | Config error | ## Argument Parsing Parse `$ARGUMENTS`: 1. **Empty, `help`, or `--help`** → show `fpi-india-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/other/fpi-india/cmd/fpi-india-pp-mcp@latest ``` 2. Register with Claude Code: ```bash claude mcp add fpi-india-pp-mcp -- fpi-india-pp-mcp ``` 3. Verify: `claude mcp list` ## Direct Use 1. Check if installed: `which fpi-india-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 fpi-india-pp-cli [subcommand] [args] --agent ``` 4. If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help: `fpi-india-pp-cli --help`.
