# Blu-ray.com — Printing Press CLI
## Prerequisites: Install the CLI
This skill drives the `blu-ray-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 into a user bin directory:
```bash
npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install blu-ray --cli-only --bin-dir ~/.local/bin
```
2. Verify: `blu-ray-pp-cli --version`
3. Ensure `~/.local/bin` is on `$PATH` for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.
If the `npx` install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.3 or newer):
```bash
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/media-and-entertainment/blu-ray/cmd/blu-ray-pp-cli@latest
```
If `--version` reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on `$PATH`. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.
## When to Use This CLI
Reach for blu-ray-pp-cli whenever an agent or user needs to query the Blu-ray.com disc database: resolving titles to release ids, comparing editions across formats, scanning deals across retailers, tracking prices on a wishlist, or building a catalog drift report. The CLI is read-only against Blu-ray.com — it never logs in, never posts, and respects every robots-disallowed path. Pair it with cron or launchd to get daily price alerts without a third-party service.
## 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.
### Local state that compounds
- **`search`** — Instant offline search across every Blu-ray release in Blu-ray.com's published sitemap (~400k+ entries). Faster than the site's JS-rendered search and works without a network round-trip after one sync.
_Reach for this whenever an agent needs to resolve a title to a release id, list every edition of a film, or filter the catalog by year/format/country. Single round-trip vs. the dozens of network hits the website does._
```bash
blu-ray-pp-cli search 'fight club' --format 4k --year 2025 --json
```
- **`watch check`** — Local watchlist of release ids; re-scans Blu-ray.com deals on demand and alerts when any watched disc hits its target price or a new historical low.
_Use this whenever a user wants notifications about disc prices without polling third-party services. Pairs naturally with cron or a launchd job._
```bash
blu-ray-pp-cli watch add 9929 --target-price 14.99 && blu-ray-pp-cli watch check --agent
```
- **`drift`** — Diffs today's sitemap against the last sync and surfaces 'new in catalog this week', 'removed', and 'metadata changed' so collectors don't miss announcements.
_Use this to catch up after being away from the site for a week, or to build a weekly digest of what dropped, what got delayed, and what got pulled._
```bash
blu-ray-pp-cli drift --since 2026-05-01 --kind bluray --json
```
### Decision support
- **`editions`** — Given a movie umbrella id, lists every disc edition (4K UHD, Blu-ray, Steelbook, Director's Cut, country variant) with release date, list price, current price, and Blu-ray.com community rating in a single view.
_Use this when a user is deciding which edition of a film to buy (4K vs Blu-ray, Criterion vs Arrow, region A vs region B). Surfaces the trade-off at a glance._
```bash
blu-ray-pp-cli editions 9929 --country US --json
```
- **`history`** — Shows per-retailer price history for a release id, captured automatically by watch check + deals --record. Optional inline ASCII spark plot.
_Use this to know whether the current 'deal' is actually historically low, or just a small dip. Distinguishes real bargains from clickbait._
```bash
blu-ray-pp-cli history 9929 --retailer amazon --plot
```
### Round-tripping
- **`upc`** — Resolves a CSV of UPC codes (e.g. the comma-separated export Blu-ray.com itself produces) back to local release records, hydrating titles, formats, ratings, and current prices.
_Use this whenever a user is moving a collection between tools (Blu-ray.com to Trakt, CLZ, Letterboxd) or building a watch-list from a barcode scan._
```bash
blu-ray-pp-cli upc ./my-collection.csv --dry-run --json
```

### Finding the right command
When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:
```bash
blu-ray-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.
## Hand-written Extensions
These commands are declared by the spec author and require separate hand-written wiring; the generator does not emit Cobra registration for them. They are listed here for discoverability and are intentionally outside `## Command Reference` so the verify-skill unknown-command check does not treat them as generator-owned paths.

## Recipes
### Find every 4K UHD release of Fight Club
```bash
blu-ray-pp-cli search 'fight club' --format 4k --json --select id,title,year,distributor,country
```
Offline FTS5 lookup narrowed to 4K — returns each id you can then `releases get` for full specs.
### Daily 4K UHD preorder digest
```bash
blu-ray-pp-cli releases new --show comingsoon --format 4k --json --select title,release_date,distributor | jq '.[:20]'
```
Pipe to jq for the top 20 — drop into cron for a daily digest, no Discord webhook needed.
### Spot a real deal vs. a fake one
```bash
blu-ray-pp-cli deals --country USA --format 4k --json --select release_id,title,sale_price,percent_off | jq '.[] | select(.percent_off>40)'
```
Filters deals to >40% off, then cross-reference each `release_id` with `blu-ray-pp-cli history <id> --plot` to confirm it's a real historical low.
### Import a Blu-ray.com UPC export and enrich it
```bash
blu-ray-pp-cli upc ./my-bluray-collection.csv --enrich --json > collection.json
```
Round-trips Blu-ray.com's UPC-only export back into structured release data — titles, formats, ratings, current prices.
### What dropped this week?
```bash
blu-ray-pp-cli drift --since 2026-05-10 --kind bluray --json | jq '.added | length'
```
Counts new Blu-ray releases added to the catalog in the past 7 days. Replace `.added` with `.removed` or `.changed` for the other slices.
## Auth Setup
No authentication required.
Run `blu-ray-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
blu-ray-pp-cli deals --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 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.
## Agent Feedback
When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:
```
blu-ray-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
blu-ray-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
blu-ray-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10
```
Entries are stored locally at `~/.blu-ray-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl`. They are never POSTed unless `BLU_RAY_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT` is set AND either `--send` is passed or `BLU_RAY_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.
```
blu-ray-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
blu-ray-pp-cli --profile briefing deals
blu-ray-pp-cli profile list --json
blu-ray-pp-cli profile show briefing
blu-ray-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 |
## Argument Parsing
Parse `$ARGUMENTS`:
1. **Empty, `help`, or `--help`** → show `blu-ray-pp-cli --help` output
2. **Starts with `install`** → ends with `mcp` → MCP installation; otherwise → see Prerequisites above
3. **Anything else** → Direct Use (execute as CLI command with `--agent`)
## MCP Server Installation
1. Install the MCP server:
```bash
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/media-and-entertainment/blu-ray/cmd/blu-ray-pp-mcp@latest
```
2. Register with Claude Code:
```bash
claude mcp add blu-ray-pp-mcp -- blu-ray-pp-mcp
```
3. Verify: `claude mcp list`
## Direct Use
1. Check if installed: `which blu-ray-pp-cli`
If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill).
2. Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.
3. Execute with the `--agent` flag:
```bash
blu-ray-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent
```
4. If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help: `blu-ray-pp-cli <command> --help`.
