About this skill

Policy Intel — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the policy-intel-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: 
    npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install policy-intel --cli-only
  2. Verify: policy-intel-pp-cli --version
  3. Ensure $GOPATH/bin (or $HOME/go/bin) is on $PATH.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer):

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/other/policy-intel/cmd/policy-intel-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the install step did not put the binary on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

When To Use

Use policy-intel-pp-cli when an agent needs source-backed US federal rulemaking or policy-monitoring context.

  • Search Federal Register documents for a topic.
  • Find rules and proposed rules without memorizing Federal Register type codes.
  • Fetch a Regulations.gov docket by ID.
  • List public comments for a docket.
  • Find open comment deadlines for a topic or agency.

When Not To Use

  • Do not use it for legal advice, compliance certification, lobbying, or comment submission.
  • Do not treat missing or sparse data as proof that a rule, docket, or comment does not exist.
  • Do not use DEMO_KEY for polling or production monitoring.

Setup

Federal Register commands work without credentials.

For Regulations.gov, set a real api.data.gov key when you have one:

export POLICY_INTEL_REGULATIONS_API_KEY="..."

If the variable is missing, the CLI uses DEMO_KEY for small read-only smoke-test calls.

If Regulations.gov returns 429 OVER_RATE_LIMIT, wait before retrying or set POLICY_INTEL_REGULATIONS_API_KEY to a real api.data.gov key. Do not build polling jobs on DEMO_KEY.

Recipes

Search Federal Register

policy-intel-pp-cli federal-register search "artificial intelligence" --agent

Use this for keyless source-backed Federal Register search results.

Rules And Proposed Rules

policy-intel-pp-cli rules "artificial intelligence" --agent

Use this when the agent needs rulemaking documents rather than all Federal Register document types.

Docket Lookup

policy-intel-pp-cli docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2018-0462 --agent

Use this to fetch title, agency, docket type, modified date, abstract, and source links for a Regulations.gov docket.

Public Comments

policy-intel-pp-cli comments EPA-HQ-OPPT-2018-0462 --agent

Use this to list public comments attached to a docket. Fields vary by agency and public-release policy.

Open Comment Deadlines

policy-intel-pp-cli deadlines "water" --from 2026-06-18 --agent

Use this to find open comment windows with a deadline on or after the selected date.

Source Coverage

policy-intel-pp-cli sources --agent
policy-intel-pp-cli doctor --agent

Use these before a larger policy-monitoring workflow to confirm source readiness and auth mode.

Output Notes

--agent enables compact JSON. Results include source names and caveats because FederalRegister.gov has legal-status warnings and Regulations.gov fields vary by agency and document type.
