Printing Press Reprint

When a major Printing Press upgrade lands,new MCP surface, auth modes, transport changes,this pulls an existing CLI from the library and regenerates it from scratch under the current machine. It preserves prior research and novel features by feeding them into the novel-features subagent's reprint reconciliation logic instead of dropping them. You get a recency recommendation (research under 30 days looks safe to reuse, over 120 days probably redo), then it hands off to /printing-press with the right context so the subagent can keep, reframe, or drop prior features with reasons. Use this when a systemic upgrade would lift a published CLI more than manual polish. For one-off fixes, /printing-press-polish is lighter weight.

/printing-press-reprint

Regenerate an existing printed CLI under the current machine. The user gives a CLI name and (optionally) reasons for the reprint. This skill ensures the prior CLI is locally present, recommends whether to reuse or redo prior research, and hands off to /printing-press with the context the novel-features subagent needs to reconcile prior features against the current machine — keep, reframe, or drop with reasons, never silent.

When to run

A significant Printing Press upgrade (new MCP surface, new auth modes, new transport, scoring rubric changes) would lift this CLI more than manual polish.
The published CLI ships with a known systemic gap a reprint would fix.
The user wants prior novel features re-evaluated against the current machine and current personas, not carried forward verbatim.

For one-off code-quality fixes, prefer /printing-press-polish — it doesn't redo research or rebuild the manuscript.
