SuperOps - Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the superops-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:

   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install superops --cli-only
   

2. Verify: superops-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 before this CLI has a public-library category, install Node or use the category-specific Go fallback after publish.

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.

SuperOps unifies PSA and RMM on one relational database; this CLI syncs your whole tenant into local SQLite so you can grep, jq, and join across tickets, assets, clients, contracts, and invoices offline. Match every entity the GraphQL API exposes, then transcend with commands like sla-watch, unbilled, at-risk-assets, and alert-coverage that no single SuperOps call answers.

When to Use This CLI

Use this CLI when you need to query or manage a SuperOps tenant from the terminal or an AI agent: triaging the ticket queue, checking endpoint patch posture, assembling a client 360 before a QBR, reconciling unbilled worklog at month-end, or feeding a triage agent a grounded context pack. It shines for cross-entity questions that span PSA and RMM, which the web UI answers only one entity at a time.

When Not to Use This CLI

Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis.

Unique Capabilities

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

Cross-entity insight from local state

• sla-watch - See which open tickets are breaching or about to breach SLA, grouped by technician or client.

  Reach for this to answer 'who is about to miss SLA and on whose queue' in one call instead of five filtered views.

  superops-cli sla-watch --by tech --window 4h --agent
  

• unbilled - Find logged worklog time that never landed on an invoice, totaled in dollars per client.

  Reach for this at month-end to surface revenue leaking out of the billing pipeline.

  superops-cli unbilled --since 2026-05-01 --agent
  

• at-risk-assets - List assets missing a critical patch that also have an active (unresolved) alert.

  Reach for this to prioritize remediation on endpoints that are both vulnerable and actively alerting.

  superops-cli at-risk-assets --client acme --agent
  

• alert-coverage - Partition alerts into open (uncovered) vs resolved, grouped by client.

  Reach for this to catch clients with alerts still sitting unhandled - work nobody is tracking.

  superops-cli alert-coverage --client acme --agent
  

• client-360 - One offline bundle of a client plus its sites, users, contracts, open tickets, assets, and open invoices.

  Reach for this before a QBR or escalation to load the full client picture in one command.

  superops-cli client-360 <client> --agent
  

• stale-tickets - Open tickets with no conversation, note, or worklog activity in N days.

  Reach for this to catch neglected tickets before they turn into SLA misses or angry clients.

  superops-cli stale-tickets --days 7 --agent
  

Agent-native plumbing

• context-ticket - Assemble a ticket plus its worklogs, client, and SLA into one agent-shaped JSON blob (conversation/notes fetched live).

  Reach for this as an AI triage agent's single read to ground a decision without six round-trips.

  superops-cli context-ticket 12345 --agent --select ticket.subject,client.name,sla.name

Finding the right command

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

superops-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

Morning SLA triage by technician

superops-cli sla-watch --by tech --window 4h

Groups at-risk tickets per tech so the service desk knows where to push first.

Month-end revenue leak check

superops-cli unbilled --agent --select client.name,worklog.minutes,worklog.amount

Lists unbilled worklog per client with just the fields billing needs.

Patch remediation priorities

superops-cli at-risk-assets --client acme

Endpoints that are both missing critical patches and carrying an active (unresolved) alert.

Agent context for a ticket

superops-cli context-ticket 12345 --agent --select ticket.subject,ticket.status,client.name,asset.hostName,sla.name

Pairs --agent with --select on a deeply nested bundle so an AI agent gets only the fields it needs instead of a multi-KB blob.

Offline full-text search

superops-cli search 'disk full' --agent

FTS5 over synced tickets, assets, clients, and KB with no live API call.

Auth Setup

Authenticate with a SuperOps API token (Settings - My Profile - API token) plus your tenant subdomain (Settings - MSP Information). Set SUPEROPS_API_TOKEN, SUPEROPS_SUBDOMAIN, and optionally SUPEROPS_REGION (us or eu). Every GraphQL request sends Authorization: Bearer and the CustomerSubDomain header.

Run superops-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:

  superops-cli alerts --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

• Read-only - do not use this CLI for create, update, delete, publish, comment, upvote, invite, order, send, or other mutating requests

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:

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

Entries are stored locally at ~/.local/share/superops-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless SUPEROPS_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or SUPEROPS_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:

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.

superops-cli profile save briefing --json
superops-cli --profile briefing alerts
superops-cli profile list --json
superops-cli profile show briefing
superops-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.

Async Jobs

For endpoints that submit long-running work, the generator detects the submit-then-poll pattern (a job_id/task_id/operation_id field in the response plus a sibling status endpoint) and wires up three extra flags on the submitting command:

Use async submission without --wait when you want to fire-and-forget; use --wait when you want one command to return the finished artifact.

Exit Codes

Argument Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

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

MCP Server Installation

Install the MCP binary from this CLI's published public-library entry or pre-built release, then register it:

claude mcp add superops-mcp -- superops-mcp

Verify: claude mcp list

Direct Use

1. Check if installed: which superops-cli If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill).
2. Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.
3. Execute with the --agent flag:

   superops-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent
   

4. If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help: superops-cli <command> --help.
