PP Clarity — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the

clarity-pp-cli

binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

Install via the Printing Press installer:

bash

npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press install clarity --cli-only

Verify:
```
clarity-pp-cli --version
```
Ensure
```
$GOPATH/bin
```
(or
```
$HOME/go/bin
```
) is on
```
$PATH
```
.

If the

npx

install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.23+):

bash

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/other/clarity/cmd/clarity-pp-cli@latest

--version

reports "command not found" after install, the install step did not put the binary on

$PATH

. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

Microsoft Clarity's client API is made of JavaScript calls and HTML attributes, so this CLI treats it as an instrumentation assistant instead of a fake REST wrapper. It can fetch the public tag script, render copy-safe snippets, and audit local HTML for the calls Microsoft documents.

When to Use This CLI

Use this CLI when you need to add, review, or explain Microsoft Clarity browser instrumentation. It is strongest for generating snippets and auditing local HTML; it is not a replacement for the Clarity dashboard.

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.

Instrumentation authoring

snippet install
— Render a complete Clarity tracking snippet for a project ID, plus focused snippets for every documented client API call.
Use this when adding Clarity to a site or handing implementation-ready code to another agent.
bash
```
clarity-pp-cli snippet install abc123 --format html
```

Instrumentation review

audit html
— Inspect an HTML file for a Clarity tag script, masking attributes, and common window.clarity client API calls.
Use this before shipping page changes that are supposed to include Clarity instrumentation.
bash
```
clarity-pp-cli audit html ./index.html --json --select found_project_id,calls
```

Command Reference

tag — Inspect the Microsoft Clarity tracking tag script

```
clarity-pp-cli tag <project_id>
```
— Fetch the Clarity tracking tag script for a project ID

Hand-written commands

```
clarity-pp-cli snippet install
```
— Render the tracking snippet for a Clarity project ID
```
clarity-pp-cli snippet consent
```
— Render the Cookie consent client API call
```
clarity-pp-cli snippet identify
```
— Render the custom identifiers client API call
```
clarity-pp-cli snippet set
```

```
clarity-pp-cli snippet event
```

```
clarity-pp-cli audit html
```
— Check an HTML file for a Clarity install snippet and client API calls
```
clarity-pp-cli insights live
```
— Fetch Microsoft Clarity Data Export API live insights

Finding the right command

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

bash

clarity-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

means at least one match; exit code

means no confident match — fall back to

--help

or use a narrower query.

Recipes

Install Clarity

bash

clarity-pp-cli snippet install abc123 --format html

Produces the tracking snippet that belongs in the page head.

Add a custom event

bash

clarity-pp-cli snippet event newsletterSignup

Produces the documented event call for a named user action.

Audit only high-gravity fields

bash

clarity-pp-cli audit html ./index.html --json --select found_project_id,calls,mask_count,unmask_count

Narrows audit output for agent consumption.

Auth Setup

Client-side snippet commands only need the public Clarity project ID.

For Data Export API reads, set a token in the environment. Do not paste token values into chat or commit them to files:

bash

export PP_CLARITY_API_TOKEN="..."
clarity-pp-cli insights live --days 1 --dimension OS --json

For local agent testing, prefer the local token file:

bash

mkdir -p ~/.config/clarity-pp-cli
printf '%s' 'YOUR_TOKEN_HERE' > ~/.config/clarity-pp-cli/api-token
chmod 600 ~/.config/clarity-pp-cli/api-token

The command also accepts

MICROSOFT_CLARITY_API_TOKEN

CLARITY_API_TOKEN

, or

PP_CLARITY_API_TOKEN_FILE

Run

clarity-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
```
clarity-pp-cli tag mock-value --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": <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:

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

Entries are stored locally at

~/.clarity-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl

. They are never POSTed unless

CLARITY_CLIENT_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT

is set AND either

--send

is passed or

CLARITY_CLIENT_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:

Sink	Effect
`stdout`	Default; write to stdout only
`file:<path>`	Atomically write output to `<path>` (tmp + rename)
`webhook:<url>`	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 agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.

clarity-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
clarity-pp-cli --profile briefing tag mock-value
clarity-pp-cli profile list --json
clarity-pp-cli profile show briefing
clarity-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

If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill).
Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.

Execute with the

--agent

flag:

bash

clarity-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent

If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help:
```
clarity-pp-cli <command> --help
```
