• Link: https://printingpress.dev/
• Page title: “Printing Press - Print the best agent-designed CLI of all time”.
• Description: “From an API spec, a website with no public API, or a community fan project - one command prints a Go CLI, a Claude Code skill, an OpenClaw skill, and an MCP server. Muscle memory for agents.”
• Potential relevance: generating CLI/tools/skills/MCP servers for Dab/Hermes workflows.
• Installed Printing Press in Claude Code only: binary ~/.local/bin/printing-press v4.9.0, plugin repo ~/.claude/plugins/cli-printing-press, runtime root ~/printing-press.
• Notice Board has no HTTP API for the Press to consume, so tools/notice.py is a small stdlib CLI built in the Press's style: compound commands, agent-native flags, --json opt-in, no destructive defaults, audit log on every mutating call.

Explore

Intent: Evaluate Printing Press as a Dab/Hermes tooling primitive and ship a small, stdlib-only Notice Board CLI so agents can list/show/capture/done items in one call without re-reading brain.json.

Next action: Use tools/notice.py in real Claude Code sessions for a week; collect friction and decide whether to MCP-wrap or reprint a proper Go CLI once Notice Board has an HTTP/API surface.
