Wavespeed — Printing Press CLI
Prerequisites: Install the CLI
This skill drives the wavespeed-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/binon macOS/Linux and%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\binon Windows:npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install wavespeed --cli-only - Verify:
wavespeed-pp-cli --version - Ensure the reported install directory is on
$PATHfor 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):
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/ai/wavespeed/cmd/wavespeed-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.

Novel commands / Workflows (D2C content production)
WaveSpeed ships a content-production layer for D2C brands posting to social
(Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X). It is produce-only: it emits post-ready
files plus a per-platform manifest.json a downstream social-posting tool
consumes. Every novel command emits a uniform agent envelope
(command, results, suggested_next, recommended_action,
cost_spent, library_record_errors, partial_failure) and supports
--dry-run to preview planned files, costs, and merged params without spending.
Novel commands record each generation to a local library DB by default; pass
--no-record to opt out. Plain run does the inverse — pass --record to
record it. A library write failure is logged and surfaced in
library_record_errors; it never fails a successful generation.
Plan
wavespeed-pp-cli plan brief-to-shotlist --prompt "<brief>" --platforms instagram,tiktok— turn a brief into a structured shotlist. Hybrid planner:--planner deterministic|llm|auto(defaultauto), with an LLM fallback via--planner-model <id>.--aspectsand--from-fileare also accepted.wavespeed-pp-cli plan model-pick <intent>— recommend a model for an intent from the live catalog.wavespeed-pp-cli plan cost-estimate <shotlist.json>— price a shotlist against/model/pricingand your balance.
Produce
wavespeed-pp-cli pack --concept "<concept>" --platforms instagram,tiktok— multi-platform pack at stablepacks/<slug>/<platform>/paths with a per-platform manifest. Flags:--aspects,--concurrency,--max-cost,--on-failure abort|continue,--history,--clean,--strict-video,--model,--brand,--seed,--out-dir.wavespeed-pp-cli batch --from shots.csv --max-cost 5.00— submit many prompts from CSV/JSON.--fail-tolerant(default fail-fast),--concurrency,--model,--brand.wavespeed-pp-cli variants --base shotlist.json --vary seed --count 4— controlled sweep (--vary seed|style|model,--values).wavespeed-pp-cli compose --steps "text->image,image->video" --prompt "..." --models m1,m2— explicit step pipeline; a failed step rolls back later steps.
Refine
wavespeed-pp-cli aspects <image> --platforms instagram,tiktok— re-frame one image to target ratios (--aspects,--outpaint,--prompt,--model).wavespeed-pp-cli restyle <image> --brand helm— apply a brand/style (--style,--model).
Library
wavespeed-pp-cli library list --brand helm --platform instagram --since 30d— list recorded generations (--model,--tag,--limit).wavespeed-pp-cli library search "<query>"— FTS5 prompt search (--limit).wavespeed-pp-cli library show <id>— one generation with its tags.wavespeed-pp-cli library tag <id> --add hero --remove draft— tag management.wavespeed-pp-cli library export <dir>— export matching generations as JSON.wavespeed-pp-cli library cost-report --since 30d --group-by brand— cost rollup (--group-by brand|model|platform|tag).
QA
wavespeed-pp-cli qa preflight <shotlist.json>— pass/warn/fail checks (balance vs cost, model availability, prompt safety, platform request-shape, brand coverage).
Brand
wavespeed-pp-cli brand init <name> --from-file brand.json— create a profile (or use field flags:--style-anchors,--negative,--palette,--voice,--models,--platforms). Non-interactive by default.wavespeed-pp-cli brand show <name>,brand list,brand apply <name>(sets the active brand inwavespeed.json),brand edit <name>.
A full agent chain: brand apply → plan brief-to-shotlist → plan cost-estimate → qa preflight → pack, piping JSON between steps.
Finding the right command
When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:
wavespeed-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.
Auth Setup
Run wavespeed-pp-cli auth setup to print the URL and steps for getting a key (add --launch to open the URL). Then set:
export WAVESPEED_API_KEY="<your-key>"
Or persist it in ~/.config/wavespeed-pp-cli/config.toml.
Run wavespeed-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 —
--selectkeeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:wavespeed-pp-cli billings --agent --select id,name,statusPreviewable —
--dry-runshows the request without sendingOffline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available
Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag
Explicit retries — use
--idempotentonly when an already-existing create 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:
wavespeed-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
wavespeed-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
wavespeed-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10
Entries are stored locally at ~/.local/share/wavespeed-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless WAVESPEED_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or WAVESPEED_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.
wavespeed-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
wavespeed-pp-cli --profile briefing billings
wavespeed-pp-cli profile list --json
wavespeed-pp-cli profile show briefing
wavespeed-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.
