Pp Nvd

Search the National Vulnerability Database without leaving your terminal. You get CVE lookups, CVSS scores, affected product versions, and severity ratings by keyword, CPE name, CVE ID, or date range. The CLI wraps results in a provenance envelope so you know whether data came from the live API or your local SQLite cache. Agent mode gives you JSON output with field selection to keep context small when piping through searches. It's read-only by design, which makes it safe for automated workflows. If you're tracking CVEs across a product surface or need to script security audits, this beats opening a browser tab every time you need to check a vulnerability.

Nvd — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the nvd-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. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:
```
npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install nvd --cli-only
```
Verify: nvd-pp-cli --version
Ensure the reported install directory 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 1.26.6 or newer):
