Dub — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the

dub-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 dub --cli-only

Verify:
```
dub-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/marketing/dub/cmd/dub-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.

When to Use This CLI

Use dub-pp-cli when an agent or operator needs to manage Dub at workspace scale — bulk link operations, campaign-wide UTM rewrites, partner program audits, bounty triage, or local cross-resource analysis. The CLI's local SQLite store makes joins across links, analytics, partners, commissions, and bounties cheap and offline. Reach for dub-pp-cli over the official

dub-cli

when you need anything beyond link shortening or workspace config.

Unique Capabilities

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

Local state that compounds

links stale
— Find archived, expired, or zero-traffic links across the workspace before they pile up.
Use this to clean up dormant short links before a portfolio review or before bulk-archiving. The /analytics endpoint can't filter links by 'no clicks in N days' in a single call.
bash
```
dub-pp-cli links stale --days 90 --json --select id,key,clicks,archived
```
links drift
— Detect links whose click rate dropped more than threshold percent week-over-week.
Catches dying campaigns before reporting deadlines. Use this in a weekly automation to surface attribution links that quietly stopped converting.
bash
```
dub-pp-cli links drift --window 7d --threshold 30 --json
```
links duplicates
— Find every link in the workspace pointing to the same destination URL.
Surfaces accidental duplicates from bulk-create overruns and consolidation candidates after a migration.
bash
```
dub-pp-cli links duplicates --json
```
links lint
— Audit short-key slugs for lookalike collisions, reserved-word violations, and brand-conflict hazards.
Use this before a brand campaign launch to catch lookalike slugs that confuse partners or get reserved-word treatment.
bash
```
dub-pp-cli links lint --json
```
links rollup
— Performance dashboard aggregated by tag or folder — clicks, leads, sales rolled up across every link wearing each label.
Use this to compare campaign performance across tag dimensions without reconciling 5 separate API calls.
bash
```
dub-pp-cli links rollup --by clicks --group-by tag --json
```
funnel
— Click-to-lead-to-sale conversion rates per link or campaign.
Surfaces where prospects drop off in your attribution funnel. Use before quarterly reporting to spot links with high clicks and low conversion.
bash
```
dub-pp-cli funnel --link mylink --min-clicks 50 --json
```
customers journey
— See every link a customer clicked, when they became a lead, and when they purchased — in one timeline.
Use this for QBR-style account reviews or to debug attribution issues for a specific customer.
bash
```
dub-pp-cli customers journey cust_abc123 --json
```

Agent-native plumbing

links rewrite
— Show every link that would change and the exact patch BEFORE sending.
Use this before any campaign-wide rewrite. Diff preview prevents the worst class of bulk-mutation mistakes.
bash
```
dub-pp-cli links rewrite --match 'utm_source=oldcampaign' --replace 'utm_source=newcampaign' --dry-run
```
health
— Cross-resource Monday-morning report: rate-limit headroom, expired-but-active links, dead destination URLs, unverified domains, dormant tags, bounty submissions awaiting review.
Use this as the first thing every morning, or as a CI canary. Surfaces what needs attention without dashboard hopping.
bash
```
dub-pp-cli health --json
```
since
— What happened in the last N hours? Created, updated, deleted links plus partner approvals, new bounty submissions, and top-clicked entities.
Use this in agent loops to summarize workspace activity since the last check-in. Cheap and idempotent.
bash
```
dub-pp-cli since 24h --json
```

Partner ops

partners leaderboard
— Rank partners by commission earned, conversion rate, and clicks generated.
Use this to identify top performers before a partner-tier review, or dormant partners worth deactivating.
bash
```
dub-pp-cli partners leaderboard --by commission --top 10 --json
```
partners audit-commissions
— Reconcile partners, commissions, bounties, and payouts to flag stale rates, missing payouts, and expired bounties still earning.
Run this before a payout cycle to catch billing surprises. Use in CI before any commission-rate migration.
bash
```
dub-pp-cli partners audit-commissions --json
```
bounties triage
— Group partner-submitted bounty proof by status, age, and bounty type. Surfaces backlog awaiting review.
Run weekly to keep bounty submissions from rotting. Bounty programs lose partner trust when submissions sit unreviewed.
bash
```
dub-pp-cli bounties triage --status pending --older-than 7d --json
```
bounties payout-projection
— Project upcoming payouts from approved-but-unpaid submissions multiplied by current commission rates.
Use this for finance/marketing planning. Surfaces upcoming payout liability before the next payout cycle.
bash
```
dub-pp-cli bounties payout-projection --window 30d --json
```

Finding the right command

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

bash

dub-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

Find dormant links worth archiving

bash

dub-pp-cli sync && dub-pp-cli links stale --days 60 --json --select key,url,clicks,createdAt

Sync first, then ask for links with zero clicks in the last 60 days. Pipe through

jq

to filter further or build an archive batch.

Preview a campaign-wide UTM swap before sending

bash

dub-pp-cli links rewrite --match 'utm_source=launch' --replace 'utm_source=summer' --dry-run --json

The diff preview shows every link that would change. Drop

--dry-run

only after reading the patch.

Triage bounty submissions waiting more than 7 days

bash

dub-pp-cli bounties triage --status pending --older-than 7d --json --select id,partnerId,bountyType,submittedAt

Surfaces the partner submissions rotting in the queue. Pipe through

jq

to group by

partnerId

for outreach lists.

Per-partner ROI for the top 10 partners

bash

dub-pp-cli partners leaderboard --by commission --top 10 --agent --select 'partnerId,partnerName,clicks,leads,sales,commission'

Combines /partners/analytics with local commissions and payouts. Use

--select

with dotted paths to keep the response small for agents — leaderboards return wide rows by default.

Sync, then run the full Monday-morning health check

bash

dub-pp-cli sync && dub-pp-cli health --json

Combined report across rate-limit headroom, expired-but-active links, dead destination URLs, unverified domains, and bounty submissions awaiting review.

Auth Setup

dub-pp-cli reads DUB_API_KEY from the environment (Speakeasy convention; DUB_TOKEN also accepted for compatibility with prior community CLIs). The key is workspace-scoped — the workspace is implicit in the key. Get one from dub.co/settings/tokens and run

dub-pp-cli doctor

to verify connectivity.

Run

dub-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
```
dub-pp-cli commissions list --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

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:

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

Entries are stored locally at

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

. They are never POSTed unless

DUB_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT

is set AND either

--send

is passed or

DUB_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.

dub-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
dub-pp-cli --profile briefing commissions list
dub-pp-cli profile list --json
dub-pp-cli profile show briefing
dub-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

0	Success
2	Usage error (wrong arguments)
3	Resource not found
4	Authentication required
5	API error (upstream issue)
