First CLI for Great Clips Online Check-In: every endpoint shape and host route, ready for real calls once cookies... Trigger phrases: `great clips wait time`, `check me into great clips`, `how long is the wait at great clips`, `add me and my kids to the great clips wait list`, `great clips request shape`, `use greatclips`, `run greatclips`.

# Great Clips — Printing Press CLI

## Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the `greatclips-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. It defaults binaries to `$HOME/.local/bin` on macOS/Linux and `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin` on Windows:
   ```bash
   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install greatclips --cli-only
   ```
2. Verify: `greatclips-pp-cli --version`
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on `$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 1.26.3 or newer):

```bash
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/other/greatclips/cmd/greatclips-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.

## When to Use This CLI

Use this CLI to send the exact HTTP requests the Great Clips Online Check-In SPA sends, from the command line, with dry-run and --json output. v0.1 ships every endpoint's request shape so an agent can build flows on top; real calls require manual cookie capture from a logged-in Chrome session.

## HTTP Transport

This CLI uses Chrome-compatible HTTP transport for browser-facing endpoints. It does not require a resident browser process for normal API calls.

## Discovery Signals

This CLI was generated with browser-observed traffic context.
- Capture coverage: 9 API entries from 22 total network entries
- Protocols: (0% confidence), (0% confidence), (0% confidence)
- Generation hints: Two-host single-auth: emit one bearer-token client that handles both webservices.greatclips.com and www.stylewaretouch.net., POST /api/store/waitTime takes a JSON array body of {storeNumber} objects, not a single object. Single-salon call sends an array of length 1., Auth captured live via Claude-in-Chrome MCP from a logged-in Chrome session; the printed CLI should ship a `auth login --chrome` helper command for the equivalent flow.

## Command Reference

**cancel** — Cancel your active check-in

- `greatclips-pp-cli cancel` — Cancel the active check-in for this account

**checkin** — Submit a check-in for yourself plus a party (1-5 people)

- `greatclips-pp-cli checkin` — Add yourself and optionally other party members to a salon waitlist

**customer** — Read your Great Clips customer profile (name, phone, favorites, recent visits)

- `greatclips-pp-cli customer` — Get the authenticated customer's profile

**geo** — Resolve a zip code or city term to latitude/longitude

- `greatclips-pp-cli geo` — Resolve a zip/postal code to lat/lng/city/state

**hours** — Read salon hours (today plus 14-day forecast with special hours)

- `greatclips-pp-cli hours` — Get 14-day hours forecast for one salon

**salons** — Search and look up Great Clips salons

- `greatclips-pp-cli salons get` — Get a single salon by its salon number
- `greatclips-pp-cli salons search` — Search salons by zip code, city, or coordinates within a radius

**status** — Check your current position in line for an active check-in

- `greatclips-pp-cli status` — Get your active check-in status (position in line, estimated wait)

**wait** — Read estimated wait times from the ICS Net Check-In service

- `greatclips-pp-cli wait` — Get wait time for one salon (body is a single-element array of {storeNumber})


### Finding the right command

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

```bash
greatclips-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


### Party-of-four check-in request body

```bash
greatclips-pp-cli checkin --first-name Matt --last-name VanHorn --phone-number '(206) 555-0100' --salon-number 8991 --guests 4 --dry-run --json
```

Emits the exact JSON body POSTed to www.stylewaretouch.net/api/customer/checkIn for a party of four at Island Square.

### Wait-time request for a salon

```bash
greatclips-pp-cli wait --store-number 8991 --dry-run --json
```

Request shape for the ICS Net Check-In waitTime endpoint.

### Salons near a zip

```bash
greatclips-pp-cli salons search --term 98040 --radius 5 --dry-run --json
```

Request shape for the salon-search/term endpoint with a 5-mile radius.

### 14-day hours forecast

```bash
greatclips-pp-cli hours --salon 8991 --dry-run
```

Calls salon-hours/upcoming for one salon; the response includes special-hours and holiday closures.

### Geocode a postal code

```bash
greatclips-pp-cli geo --query 98040 --dry-run --json --select results.city,results.state,results.lat,results.lng
```

Resolves a zip code to lat/lng/city/state via the geo-names endpoint.

## Auth Setup

Great Clips uses HttpOnly session cookies from an Auth0 tenant at cid.greatclips.com. Browser-sniff confirmed all calls succeed via cookies attached by the browser, not via an Authorization header. v0.1 of this CLI ships the request shape and host routing; to make real calls, paste the cookies from a logged-in Chrome session into ~/.config/greatclips-pp-cli/config.toml. Set GREATCLIPS_TOKEN to any placeholder so doctor passes (the env var is kept for v0.2 when bearer support might land).

Run `greatclips-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:

  ```bash
  greatclips-pp-cli salons get --num example-value --agent --select id,name,status
  ```
- **Previewable** — `--dry-run` shows the request without sending
- **Non-interactive** — never prompts, every input is a flag
- **Explicit retries** — use `--idempotent` only when an already-existing create should count as success

## Agent Feedback

When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:

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

Entries are stored locally at `~/.greatclips-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl`. They are never POSTed unless `GREATCLIPS_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT` is set AND either `--send` is passed or `GREATCLIPS_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.
