pp-cdc-pakistan

The only machine-readable view of Pakistani custody data — per-security CDS penetration and a twenty-year eligibility record, from a source no tool has ever automated. Trigger phrases: `how much of this symbol is in CDS`, `CDS eligibility history for`, `has this PSX symbol been reused`, `government stake in this Pakistani company`, `CDC statistics`, `use cdc-pakistan`, `run cdc-pakistan`.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by mvanhorn on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Pp Cdc Pakistan AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/tree/main/cli-skills/pp-cdc-pakistan
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library.git /tmp/printing-press-library
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/printing-press-library/cli-skills/pp-cdc-pakistan .claude/skills/pp-cdc-pakistan
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Pp Cdc Pakistan in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Pp Cdc Pakistan on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Pp Cdc Pakistan is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

CDC Pakistan — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the cdc-pakistan-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 cdc-pakistan --cli-only
  2. Verify: cdc-pakistan-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/payments/cdc-pakistan/cmd/cdc-pakistan-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.

CDC publishes the sole per-security custody-penetration figures in the Pakistani market as split PDFs behind a bot challenge, with no API and no history endpoint. This CLI mints a browser clearance once, replays it over plain HTTP, and turns the downloads corpus into a queryable local store. coverage map proves what is mirrored, identity ledger stops symbol recycling from corrupting your return series, and eligibility state folds two decades of notices into a per-security lifecycle.

When to Use This CLI

Reach for this CLI when you need Pakistani custody-layer facts that exist nowhere else in machine-readable form: what share of a security's capital sits in the central depository, whether a symbol has been reused by a different issuer, or when a security entered or left CDS eligibility. It is also the right tool when you need to prove a local mirror is complete before running research on it.

Anti-triggers

Do not use this CLI for:

  • Do not use this CLI for holder-level or sub-account positions — CDC does not publish them, they require an individual investor's own login.
  • Do not use it for the nine-class investor taxonomy that NCCPL and MUFAP publish — CDC exposes only Individual versus Corporate, at aggregate level.
  • Do not use it for daily prices, volumes or index data — that is the PSX CLI's surface.
  • Do not use it to determine whether a security is tradable today — CDS eligibility is a custody status, not a trading suspension.
  • Do not ask it for a free-float time series — only one live vintage of the penetration report exists.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Local state that compounds

  • coverage map — See exactly which document buckets are mirrored, which are genuinely absent at source, and which were never asked for.

    Run this before trusting any other command's completeness; it is the only command that writes the document index.

    bash
    cdc-pakistan-pp-cli coverage map --category notices --agent
  • identity ledger — Reconstruct a security's symbol, name and ISIN history so you never splice two different issuers into one return series.

    Reach for this before joining CDC data to any symbol-keyed price series; symbol recycling silently corrupts factor research.

    bash
    cdc-pakistan-pp-cli identity ledger --symbol LOTCHEM --agent
  • stats history — Track the sixteen CDS aggregate metrics forward from your first sync, with archived rows labelled as such.

    Use to measure retail-participation growth; archived rows are non-contiguous and must never be read as a continuous series.

    bash
    cdc-pakistan-pp-cli stats history --metric sub_accounts_individual --agent

Twenty years of regulatory events

  • eligibility state — Get a security's full CDS-eligibility history folded from twenty years of notices into a six-state lifecycle.

    Use for CDS-eligibility history, but note CDS eligibility is not the same as PSX trading suspension and is not a tradability gate.

    bash
    cdc-pakistan-pp-cli eligibility state --isin PK0069501016 --agent

Extraction you can trust

  • verify rows — Prove the PDF extraction is trustworthy by asserting the report's own percentage column against its own share and capital columns.

    Run this before any analysis that depends on the penetration numbers; residual signatures tell you which column drifted.

    bash
    cdc-pakistan-pp-cli verify rows --vintage 2025-11-30 --agent
  • verify schema — Refuse to blend vintages whose column sets are incompatible, and refuse a month that is missing one of its parts.

    Run this whenever a new vintage lands; it blocks silently-incompatible data instead of averaging it.

    bash
    cdc-pakistan-pp-cli verify schema --vintage 2025-11-30 --agent

Cross-source joins

  • float triangulate — Put CDC custody penetration beside PSX free-float shares and NCCPL free-float percent, with each denominator named.

    Use this to see where the three float definitions disagree; it deliberately never blends them into one number.

    bash
    cdc-pakistan-pp-cli float triangulate --symbol OGDC --agent
  • gop stake — Derive state-held capital per security from the difference between the including-GoP and excluding-GoP capital columns.

    Use for a current cross-section of state ownership; there is only one vintage, so no time series exists.

    bash
    cdc-pakistan-pp-cli gop stake --min-pct 25 --agent

Command Reference

assets — Static PDF report files under /assets/uploads/YYYY/MM/.

  • cdc-pakistan-pp-cli assets — Fetch one report PDF. Also challenged by Cloudflare, so the same clearance cookie is required.

downloads — CDC downloads corpus — 7,956 documents across 15 categories, 2007-2026.

  • cdc-pakistan-pp-cli downloads — List download items for one (category, year, page).

statistics — CDS aggregate statistics — a 16-row HTML table, overwritten monthly. Current-state only.

  • cdc-pakistan-pp-cli statistics — Fetch the current CDS aggregate statistics table.

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

bash
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

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. --json (and other machine formats) keep that exit-2 contract and write {"matches":[]} on stdout so agents can inspect the envelope without treating a miss as success.

Recipes

Prove the mirror before trusting it

bash
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli coverage map --agent --select buckets.category,buckets.year,buckets.state

Returns the tri-state coverage per bucket so you can tell a genuine source gap from an unasked question.

Narrow a wide eligibility history for an agent

bash
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli eligibility state --isin PK0069501016 --agent --select events.effective_date,events.state,events.notice_url

The full event payload is large; selecting three dotted paths keeps an agent's context small while preserving the audit trail.

Find state-owned concentration

bash
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli gop stake --min-pct 25 --agent --select rows.symbol,rows.gop_shares,rows.gop_pct

Lists securities where the Government of Pakistan holds at least a quarter of paid-up capital.

Catch a symbol collision before a join

bash
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli identity resolve --symbol LOTCHEM --as-of 2019-06-30 --agent

Returns the identity in force on that date, or NOT_IN_VINTAGE rather than guessing.

Audit an extraction end to end

bash
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli verify rows --vintage 2025-11-30 --agent --select findings.check_name,findings.severity,findings.isin

Surfaces only the failing checks and the ISINs they belong to.

Auth Setup

CDC sits behind a Cloudflare JS challenge on every path. The authoritative gesture is auth clearance set, which stores three things as one unit: the cf_clearance cookie, the exact User-Agent that minted it (the cookie is bound to that User-Agent and is useless without it), and the mint time. Clear the challenge once in a real browser, then pass the cookie and that browser's User-Agent:

bash
# The cookie is read from stdin so it never reaches your shell history.
printf '%s' "$CF_CLEARANCE" | cdc-pakistan-pp-cli auth clearance set --user-agent "$UA"
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli auth clearance status

$UA must be the exact User-Agent of the browser you cleared the challenge in.

The clearance has a measured hard lifetime of roughly thirty minutes from mint, regardless of traffic — the cookie's own expiry field claims a year and is not to be trusted. The long-running commands (coverage map, verify rows, stats history --snapshot) check the remaining margin before starting and refuse early rather than dying midway through a fan-out; the thin single-request commands (downloads, statistics, assets) send the stored pair but do not pre-check the margin, so past the window they simply return a challenge error.

auth login --chrome is the framework's generic cookie import. It populates the generated credential store and is enough for the thin fetchers, but it captures neither the minting User-Agent nor a mint time, so it cannot support the margin guard and does not satisfy the commands that read the clearance store. Prefer auth clearance set.

Run cdc-pakistan-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.

Agent Mode

Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color.

Global format flags share one contract on promoted, novel, sync, and --deliver paths:

  • --json — one JSON document on stdout (sync progress events go to stderr)

  • --compact — keep identity/status/timestamp fields; does not change the document vs stream shape

  • --csv / --plain — tabular rows (collection envelopes unwrap to the row array)

  • --quiet — one identity value per row, no envelope

  • 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
    cdc-pakistan-pp-cli downloads --agent
  • 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": <data>
}

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 <dir> for one invocation, or set CDC_PAKISTAN_HOME=<dir> to relocate all four path kinds under one root.

  • Use per-kind env vars only when a specific kind must diverge: CDC_PAKISTAN_CONFIG_DIR, CDC_PAKISTAN_DATA_DIR, CDC_PAKISTAN_STATE_DIR, CDC_PAKISTAN_CACHE_DIR.

  • Resolution order is per-kind env var, --home, CDC_PAKISTAN_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 cdc-pakistan-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": {
        "cdc-pakistan": {
          "command": "cdc-pakistan-pp-mcp",
          "env": {
            "CDC_PAKISTAN_HOME": "/srv/cdc-pakistan"
          }
        }
      }
    }

Fleet precedence: an inherited per-kind env var overrides an explicit --home for that kind. Use CDC_PAKISTAN_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 CDC_PAKISTAN_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
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli recall "<user's question>" --agent

The response envelope:

json
{
  "query": "...",
  "normalized": "<normalized form>",
  "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": ["<trial command>", "cdc-pakistan-pp-cli learnings confirm 12"] }
  ],
  "playbook": {
    "query_family": "...",
    "playbook": {
      "steps": [ { "cmd": "<command with {slot} substitution>", "purpose": "..." } ],
      "entity_slots": ["$ENTITY"],
      "expected_tool_calls": 3
    },
    "slots_resolved": { "$ENTITY": { "token": "<live token>", "canonical": "<canonical>" } },
    "notes": "<workarounds + gotchas for this query family>"
  },
  "notes": "<duplicate surface for non-playbook callers>"
}

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 <id>` only after the trial verified the behavior.
       Reject a wrong candidate with `learnings reject <id>`.
    -> 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 `cdc-pakistan-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 <id> prints the candidate's full payload before materializing it - check that the printed payload matches the behavior you verified. learnings reject <id> tombstones the derivation signature so the same candidate does not resurface. The envelope carries only the few candidates worth acting on now; cdc-pakistan-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:<canonical> (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.
  • 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
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli teach --query "<user's question>" --resource-type <type> --resource <id1> --resource <id2>
# (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.
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli teach \
  --query "<user's question>" \
  --resource <id> \
  --playbook-file ~/playbooks/<shape>.json \
  --playbook-notes-file ~/playbooks/<shape>-notes.md
# (append shell `&` to background it)

# Alternate: playbook-only (no resource to record alongside).
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli teach-playbook \
  --query "<user's question>" \
  --playbook-file ~/playbooks/<shape>.json \
  --notes-file ~/playbooks/<shape>-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
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli playbook amend \
  --query "<exact recall query string>" \
  --add-note "<your concrete correction>"
# (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]: <text>). 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

cdc-pakistan-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.
  • CDC_PAKISTAN_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:

cdc-pakistan-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10

Entries are stored locally as feedback.jsonl under the resolved data dir. They are never POSTed unless CDC_PAKISTAN_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or CDC_PAKISTAN_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 <sink>. 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:

SinkEffect
stdoutDefault; write to stdout only
file:<path>Atomically write output to <path> (tmp + rename). Binary-response commands write decoded payload bytes (not the base64 JSON envelope) and print a small JSON receipt on stdout; --json/--csv do not refuse when this sink is set.
webhook:<url>POST the output body to the URL (application/json)

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.

cdc-pakistan-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli --profile briefing downloads
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli profile list --json
cdc-pakistan-pp-cli profile show briefing
cdc-pakistan-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.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Pp Cdc Pakistan AI skill do?

The only machine-readable view of Pakistani custody data — per-security CDS penetration and a twenty-year eligibility record, from a source no tool has ever automated. Trigger phrases: `how much of this symbol is in CDS`, `CDS eligibility history for`, `has this PSX symbol been reused`, `government stake in this Pakistani company`, `CDC statistics`, `use cdc-pakistan`, `run cdc-pakistan`.

Why use Pp Cdc Pakistan on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Pp Cdc Pakistan is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Pp Cdc Pakistan in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/tree/main/cli-skills/pp-cdc-pakistan. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Pp Cdc Pakistan?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Pp Cdc Pakistan?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Pp Cdc Pakistan with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Pp Cdc Pakistan AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by mvanhorn under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
