Printing Press Output Review
Internal review layer that catches plausibility bugs rule-based checks miss. Runs after a CLI prints, scanning sampled command output for substring-match false positives, silently dropped sources in aggregations, broken ranking weights, and format issues like malformed URLs or mojibake. You don't invoke this directly,it's called by the main printing-press and polish skills during their diagnostic loops, runs in a forked context to keep agent chatter isolated, and surfaces everything as warnings in Wave B (never blocks shipping). The agent gets live-check JSON plus research context and judges what a human would notice in five minutes of hands-on testing. Think of it as automated dogfooding for the stuff grep can't encode.

printing-press-output-review (internal)
Review the sampled outputs from a printed CLI for plausibility bugs that dogfood, verify, and the rule-based scorecard --live-check rules can't catch. Wave B policy: all findings surface as warnings, never errors.
This skill is internal-only (user-invocable: false). It's invoked by parents — the main printing-press skill at its shipcheck Phase 4.85, and the printing-press-polish skill during its diagnostic loop. Running it standalone would produce floating findings text with no ship verdict, no fixes applied, no publish offer; the actionable wrappers are /printing-press and /printing-press-polish. The skill carries context: fork so the reviewer agent's diagnostic chatter stays isolated from the calling skill's context.
Input
The caller passes $CLI_DIR as the argument: an absolute path to the printed CLI's working directory.
What this catches
Bugs that rule-based checks miss, typically surfaced by 5 minutes of hands-on testing but slipping past dogfood, verify, and scorecard --live-check rules:
