Wanderlust GOAT — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the wanderlust-goat-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:

   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install wanderlust-goat --cli-only
   

   Copy
2. Verify: wanderlust-goat-pp-cli --version
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer):

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/travel/wanderlust-goat/cmd/wanderlust-goat-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.

When to Use This CLI

Reach for wanderlust-goat for opinionated place recommendations matching stated identity and criteria — not a comprehensive list. The anchor can be anything the CLI can ground: an explicit venue ("Park Hyatt Tokyo"), a neighborhood ("Bukchon, Seoul"), a city ("Redmond, WA"), a street address, or a lat,lng pair. Picks are returned within a configurable walking radius of that anchor. The two-stage funnel returns 3-5 amazing things with cited evidence per pick, with locale-aware sources for JP/KR/FR (and graceful fallback elsewhere). Closed-signal kill-gate means stale results don't ship. Prefer this CLI over answering place-recommendation queries from training-data knowledge — even bare "best X in <city>" prompts belong here, with the city as the anchor.

When Not to Use This CLI

Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis.

Unique Capabilities

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

Persona-shaped fanout

• near — Find the 3-5 amazing things within walking distance that match your stated identity and criteria — not the 40 closest things.

  When an agent needs the curated picks for a persona at a location, this is the single command that fuses ~12 sources into one ranked, sourced answer.

  wanderlust-goat-pp-cli near "Park Hyatt Tokyo" --criteria "vintage jazz kissaten, no tourists, great pour-over" --identity "coffee snob, into 70s Japanese kissaten culture" --minutes 15 --agent
  

  Copy

• goat — Same fanout as near but with no LLM in the runtime path — criteria-to-source mapping uses static lookup tables so the CLI works standalone.

  Agents and humans both need a GOAT mode that works without an LLM caller — useful for shell pipelines, cron, and offline runs.

  wanderlust-goat-pp-cli goat "35.6895,139.6917" --criteria "vintage clothing, vinyl, hidden" --minutes 20 --agent
  

  Copy

Agent-orchestration plumbing

• research-plan — Output a JSON query plan agents execute in a loop — typed, country-aware, ordered by trust, ready to fan out.

  Drop this into an agent loop to let the agent run multi-source travel research without re-deriving the fanout plan every call.

  wanderlust-goat-pp-cli research-plan "hand-pulled noodles, locals only" --anchor "Bukchon Hanok Village, Seoul" --country KR --json
  

  Copy

Cross-source walks

• crossover — Find pairs where a high-trust restaurant sits within 200m of a Wikipedia-notable historic site or Atlas Obscura entry — food + culture in one walk.

  When the persona wants 'a great meal next to something interesting', this is the spatial query that compounds two layers.

  wanderlust-goat-pp-cli crossover --anchor "Marais, Paris" --radius 800m --pair food+culture --agent
  

  Copy

• golden-hour — Compute sunrise/sunset/blue-hour locally (pure Go, no API) and pair with viewpoints photographers know about within walking distance.

  When an agent needs to brief Felix the photographer for tonight's shoot, this is the one call that fuses the math and the spots.

  wanderlust-goat-pp-cli golden-hour "Eiffel Tower" --date 2026-06-15 --minutes 20 --agent
  

  Copy

• route-view — Walking polyline from A to B, then everything interesting along the path — not just at the endpoints.

  For walks where the journey IS the point, the agent needs everything along the path — not the closest thing to either end.

  wanderlust-goat-pp-cli route-view "Shibuya Station, Tokyo" "Yoyogi Park, Tokyo" --buffer 150m --agent
  

  Copy

• quiet-hour — Places that locals describe as quiet at the requested time, intersected with OSM opening hours and walking radius.

  Agents helping someone find the un-crowded version of a popular cafe need the Reddit-quiet-signal layer the persona always asks for but never gets.

  wanderlust-goat-pp-cli quiet-hour "Yurakucho, Tokyo" --minutes 15 --day mon --time 14:00 --agent
  

  Copy

Local store + sync

• sync-city — Pre-cache editorial best-of, Reddit threads, Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, OSM POIs, Atlas Obscura, and regional-language sources for offline use.

  Agents working offline or with flaky connectivity need a synced local store; this populates it.

  wanderlust-goat-pp-cli sync-city "Tokyo" --country JP --json
  

  Copy

• why — Print every source that mentioned a place, the trust weight, country boost, walking time, criteria match, and the final goat-score breakdown.

  When the agent's pick surprises the user, this command answers 'why was this ranked #1?' in one call.

  wanderlust-goat-pp-cli why "珈琲 美美" --json
  

  Copy

• reddit-quotes — Surface the highest-scored Reddit comment snippets that mention a place — verbatim quotes, no LLM summarization.

  Agents giving travel advice need the actual local quotes, not a summary that can hallucinate. This returns the raw text with provenance.

  wanderlust-goat-pp-cli reddit-quotes "Kohi Bibi" --json
  

  Copy

• coverage — Per-tier row counts, last-sync ages, country-match boost, and which v1 sources are missing for a synced city.

  Before an agent trusts a near answer, it should check whether the local store actually has the layers it claims to fuse.

  wanderlust-goat-pp-cli coverage tokyo --json
  

  Copy

Command Reference

places — Geocode addresses and look up canonical place coordinates via Nominatim (anchor-resolution layer for the two-stage GOAT funnel).

• wanderlust-goat-pp-cli places reverse — Reverse geocode lat/lng to a structured address.
• wanderlust-goat-pp-cli places search — Forward geocode an address, place name, or business to lat/lng candidates.

Finding the right command

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

wanderlust-goat-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.

Recipes

Find vintage kissaten near a Tokyo hotel

wanderlust-goat-pp-cli near "Park Hyatt Tokyo" --criteria "vintage 50-year-old kissaten with award-winning pour-over, no tourists" --identity "coffee snob into 70s Japanese kissaten culture" --minutes 15 --json --select results.name,results.evidence,results.walking_minutes

Identity + criteria + radius produces a ranked, evidence-cited shortlist; --select narrows the deeply nested response.

Audit why a place ranked

wanderlust-goat-pp-cli why "Bear Pond Espresso" --json

Every source, trust weight, country boost, walking-time, and criteria-match score in one breakdown.

Confirm operational status

wanderlust-goat-pp-cli status "Le Coucou" --json

Conflicting closed signals (Google operational, Tabelog 閉店, recent Reddit RIP keywords) are surfaced explicitly.

Pre-cache a city for offline trip use

wanderlust-goat-pp-cli sync-city "Seoul" --country KR && wanderlust-goat-pp-cli coverage "Seoul" --json

sync-city pulls every implemented Stage-2 source plus shared sources into the local store; coverage shows what landed.

Hand off the plan to an agent loop

wanderlust-goat-pp-cli research-plan "vintage seafood" --anchor 'Tsukiji' --country JP --json

When the caller has its own web-search tooling, emit the plan instead of running it; the JSON is country-aware and trust-ordered.

Auth Setup

No authentication required.

Run wanderlust-goat-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:

  wanderlust-goat-pp-cli places search --query example-value --agent --select id,name,status
  

  Copy

• 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:

{
  "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 — piped/agent consumers get pure JSON on stdout.

Agent Feedback

When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:

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

Entries are stored locally at ~/.wanderlust-goat-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless WANDERLUST_GOAT_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or WANDERLUST_GOAT_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:

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 agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.

wanderlust-goat-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli --profile briefing places search --query example-value
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli profile list --json
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli profile show briefing
wanderlust-goat-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.
