SRAM AXS — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the axs-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 axs --cli-only
```
Verify: axs-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 1.26.4 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead:

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/other/axs/cmd/axs-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.

SRAM AXS CLI for bikes, components, registrations, ride activities, and synced component-summary analytics.

When to Use This CLI

Reach for this CLI when a rider or agent needs scriptable access to a SRAM AXS account: listing bikes and components, registering parts by serial, checking synced firmware/battery status, browsing the model catalog, reviewing ride activities, or querying synced data offline.

Anti-triggers

Do not use this CLI for:

Do not use this CLI to flash or install firmware; it can report web-visible firmware status only.
Do not use it to configure shifting behavior or pair components over BLE — that is a phone-app/Bluetooth task, not an HTTP API task.
Do not use it for non-SRAM drivetrains.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Synced component-summary views

firmware-check — Show the latest synced firmware version per AXS device type.

Pick this when an agent needs the current synced firmware signal without clicking through every component.
```
axs-pp-cli firmware-check --json
```
battery — Latest synced battery status per AXS device type, including voltage when available.

Pick this for a quick pre-ride battery signal across synced AXS device types.
```
axs-pp-cli battery --json
```

Local state that compounds

wear — Rank components by synced shift counts, distance, and actuations from component summaries.

Use to find the most-used drivetrain component for maintenance planning.
```
axs-pp-cli wear --json --select device_type,device_label,shift_count,fd_shift_count,rd_shift_count
```
shifts — Show per-ride front/rear shift counts, chainrings, and cogs from synced component summaries.

Use for ride-by-ride drivetrain usage analysis without dumping thousands of raw gear samples.
```
axs-pp-cli shifts --totals --json
```
since — Show new ride activities and notifications since your last sync.

Pick this to catch up on what changed without re-reading everything.
```
axs-pp-cli since 7d
```

AXS web data joined for agents

garage — A tree of every bike with its components and serials in one shot.

Use as the one-command overview of a rider's whole AXS setup.
```
axs-pp-cli garage
```

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

axs-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.

Recipes

Pre-ride charge check

axs-pp-cli battery --json

Lists latest battery_status per synced AXS device type.

Find stale firmware

axs-pp-cli firmware-check --json

Lists latest fw_version per synced AXS device type.

Rank drivetrain use

axs-pp-cli wear --json

Ranks component-summary records by shift-count wear proxy.

Total ride shifts

axs-pp-cli shifts --totals --json

Totals front and rear shifts across synced ride summaries.

Register a part safely

axs-pp-cli registrations create --serial ABC123 --dry-run

Shows the registration request without sending it.

Auth Setup

AXS uses your SRAM account (Auth0). Run axs-pp-cli auth login to sign in with your email and password (handled directly against SRAM's token endpoint — no browser), or paste an access token with axs-pp-cli auth set-token / set SRAM_AXS_TOKEN. The public device-type catalog works with no login.

Run axs-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:
```
axs-pp-cli activities list --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
Explicit retries — use --idempotent only when an already-existing create should count as success, and --ignore-missing only when a missing delete target should count as success

Response envelope

Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:

{
  "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:

axs-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
axs-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
axs-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10

Entries are stored locally at ~/.local/share/axs-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless AXS_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or AXS_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.

axs-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
axs-pp-cli --profile briefing activities list
axs-pp-cli profile list --json
axs-pp-cli profile show briefing
axs-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
4	Authentication required
5	API error (upstream issue)
7	Rate limited (wait and retry)
10	Config error

Argument Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

Empty, help, or --help → show axs-pp-cli --help output
Starts with install → ends with mcp → MCP installation; otherwise → see Prerequisites above
Anything else → Direct Use (execute as CLI command with --agent)

MCP Server Installation

Install the MCP server:

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/other/axs/cmd/axs-pp-mcp@latest

claude mcp add axs-pp-mcp -- axs-pp-mcp

Verify: claude mcp list

Direct Use

Check if installed: which axs-pp-cli If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill).
Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.

Execute with the --agent flag:

axs-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent

If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help: axs-pp-cli <command> --help.
