Prerequisites: Install the CLI
This skill drives the binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:
dub-pp-cli- Install via the Printing Press installer:
bash
npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press install dub --cli-only - Verify:
dub-pp-cli --version - Ensure (or
$GOPATH/bin) is on$HOME/go/bin.$PATH
If the install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.23+):
npxbash
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/marketing/dub/cmd/dub-pp-cli@latestIf reports "command not found" after install, the install step did not put the binary on . Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.
--version$PATHWhen 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 when you need anything beyond link shortening or workspace config.
dub-cliUnique Capabilities
These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.
Local state that compounds
-
— Find archived, expired, or zero-traffic links across the workspace before they pile up.
links staleUse 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.bashdub-pp-cli links stale --days 90 --json --select id,key,clicks,archived -
— Detect links whose click rate dropped more than threshold percent week-over-week.
links driftCatches dying campaigns before reporting deadlines. Use this in a weekly automation to surface attribution links that quietly stopped converting.bashdub-pp-cli links drift --window 7d --threshold 30 --json -
— Find every link in the workspace pointing to the same destination URL.
links duplicatesSurfaces accidental duplicates from bulk-create overruns and consolidation candidates after a migration.bashdub-pp-cli links duplicates --json -
— Audit short-key slugs for lookalike collisions, reserved-word violations, and brand-conflict hazards.
links lintUse this before a brand campaign launch to catch lookalike slugs that confuse partners or get reserved-word treatment.bashdub-pp-cli links lint --json -
— Performance dashboard aggregated by tag or folder — clicks, leads, sales rolled up across every link wearing each label.
links rollupUse this to compare campaign performance across tag dimensions without reconciling 5 separate API calls.bashdub-pp-cli links rollup --by clicks --group-by tag --json -
— Click-to-lead-to-sale conversion rates per link or campaign.
funnelSurfaces where prospects drop off in your attribution funnel. Use before quarterly reporting to spot links with high clicks and low conversion.bashdub-pp-cli funnel --link mylink --min-clicks 50 --json -
— See every link a customer clicked, when they became a lead, and when they purchased — in one timeline.
customers journeyUse this for QBR-style account reviews or to debug attribution issues for a specific customer.bashdub-pp-cli customers journey cust_abc123 --json
Agent-native plumbing
-
— Show every link that would change and the exact patch BEFORE sending.
links rewriteUse this before any campaign-wide rewrite. Diff preview prevents the worst class of bulk-mutation mistakes.bashdub-pp-cli links rewrite --match 'utm_source=oldcampaign' --replace 'utm_source=newcampaign' --dry-run -
— Cross-resource Monday-morning report: rate-limit headroom, expired-but-active links, dead destination URLs, unverified domains, dormant tags, bounty submissions awaiting review.
healthUse this as the first thing every morning, or as a CI canary. Surfaces what needs attention without dashboard hopping.bashdub-pp-cli health --json -
— What happened in the last N hours? Created, updated, deleted links plus partner approvals, new bounty submissions, and top-clicked entities.
sinceUse this in agent loops to summarize workspace activity since the last check-in. Cheap and idempotent.bashdub-pp-cli since 24h --json
Partner ops
-
— Rank partners by commission earned, conversion rate, and clicks generated.
partners leaderboardUse this to identify top performers before a partner-tier review, or dormant partners worth deactivating.bashdub-pp-cli partners leaderboard --by commission --top 10 --json -
— Reconcile partners, commissions, bounties, and payouts to flag stale rates, missing payouts, and expired bounties still earning.
partners audit-commissionsRun this before a payout cycle to catch billing surprises. Use in CI before any commission-rate migration.bashdub-pp-cli partners audit-commissions --json -
— Group partner-submitted bounty proof by status, age, and bounty type. Surfaces backlog awaiting review.
bounties triageRun weekly to keep bounty submissions from rotting. Bounty programs lose partner trust when submissions sit unreviewed.bashdub-pp-cli bounties triage --status pending --older-than 7d --json -
— Project upcoming payouts from approved-but-unpaid submissions multiplied by current commission rates.
bounties payout-projectionUse this for finance/marketing planning. Surfaces upcoming payout liability before the next payout cycle.bashdub-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>"which02--helpRecipes
Find dormant links worth archiving
bash
dub-pp-cli sync && dub-pp-cli links stale --days 60 --json --select key,url,clicks,createdAtSync first, then ask for links with zero clicks in the last 60 days. Pipe through to filter further or build an archive batch.
jqPreview a campaign-wide UTM swap before sending
bash
dub-pp-cli links rewrite --match 'utm_source=launch' --replace 'utm_source=summer' --dry-run --jsonThe diff preview shows every link that would change. Drop only after reading the patch.
--dry-runTriage bounty submissions waiting more than 7 days
bash
dub-pp-cli bounties triage --status pending --older-than 7d --json --select id,partnerId,bountyType,submittedAtSurfaces the partner submissions rotting in the queue. Pipe through to group by for outreach lists.
jqpartnerIdPer-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 with dotted paths to keep the response small for agents — leaderboards return wide rows by default.
--selectSync, then run the full Monday-morning health check
bash
dub-pp-cli sync && dub-pp-cli health --jsonCombined 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 to verify connectivity.
dub-pp-cli doctorRun to verify setup.
dub-pp-cli doctorAgent Mode
Add to any command. Expands to: .
--agent--json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes-
Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr
-
Filterable —keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:
--selectbashdub-pp-cli commissions list --agent --select id,name,status -
Previewable —shows the request without sending
--dry-run -
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 for data and to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal — piped/agent consumers get pure JSON on stdout.
.results.meta.sourceN results (live)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 10Entries are stored locally at . They are never POSTed unless is set AND either is passed or . Default behavior is local-only.
~/.dub-pp-cli/feedback.jsonlDUB_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT--sendDUB_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=trueWrite what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.
Output Delivery
Every command accepts . 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:
--deliver <sink>| Sink | Effect |
|---|---|
| Default; write to stdout only |
| Atomically write output to |
| POST the output body to the URL ( |
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 --yesExplicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults. lists all available profiles under so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.
