Resend — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the

resend-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:

bash

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

Verify:
```
resend-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 1.26.3 or newer):

bash

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/productivity/resend/cmd/resend-pp-cli@latest

--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 when an agent needs to answer cross-resource questions about a Resend account that the dashboard or SDK cannot answer in one call — what did we send to a specific recipient, which audiences is a contact in, how does broadcast performance trend over time, what's the 7-day bounce rate. Stick with

npx resend send

for one-shot transactional sends or with React Email for templates; this CLI is the agent-facing companion, not a replacement.

Unique Capabilities

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

Cross-resource queries over local state

emails to
— Every email sent to a single recipient address, with delivery status and timestamps, ordered newest-first.
Reach for this when an agent needs to reconstruct what a single user has received — support tickets, GDPR exports, dispute investigations.
bash
```
resend-pp-cli emails to <your-email> --json --select id,subject,status,sent_at
```
emails timeline
— Collapsed event chain for a single email: sent → delivered → opened → clicked → bounced, in one ordered table.
Use when debugging 'why didn't this arrive?' — one command shows whether it was sent, delivered, opened, or bounced and when.
bash
```
resend-pp-cli emails timeline 4ef9a417-d4ff-4ec5-9af2-c80a4d5d2c1f --json
```
audiences inventory
— Per-audience rollup: contact count, unsubscribed count, last-broadcast timestamp, recent open-rate.
Use before planning a campaign — quickly see which audiences are healthy and recently engaged.
bash
```
resend-pp-cli audiences inventory --json
```
contacts where
— Find every audience, segment, and topic a contact (by email or name) belongs to in one query.
Use when triaging unsubscribe requests, GDPR deletions, or 'why is bob getting this email?'.
bash
```
resend-pp-cli contacts where <contact-email> --json --select audience_name,subscribed
```

Aggregate analytics from local store

broadcasts performance
— Open / click / bounce rate across all broadcasts, sortable; not limited to a single broadcast or 30-day window.
Use to compare campaign performance across the lifetime of the account.
bash
```
resend-pp-cli broadcasts performance --json --select broadcasts,count,status
```
domains health
— Verification + DKIM/SPF/DMARC status across every domain in one table, flags missing or unverified records.
Use on call-out / deliverability incidents to confirm all sending domains are fully verified.
bash
```
resend-pp-cli domains health --json
```
deliverability summary
— Bounce rate, complaint rate, and suppression count over a rolling window (default 7d) computed from local event data.
Use weekly to monitor IP/domain reputation trends before they cause deliverability incidents.
bash
```
resend-pp-cli deliverability summary --window 7d --json
```

Operational hygiene

api-keys rotation
— API keys sorted by age + last-used timestamp (joined from logs); flags stale keys older than N days.
Use during quarterly security reviews — find unused keys that should be rotated or revoked.
bash
```
resend-pp-cli api-keys rotation --older-than 90d --json
```

Finding the right command

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

bash

resend-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

means at least one match; exit code

means no confident match — fall back to

--help

or use a narrower query.

Recipes

Reconstruct what a user has received

bash

resend-pp-cli emails to user@example.com --json --select id,subject,status,sent_at,opened_at --limit 50

Use this for support tickets and GDPR exports — every email sent to one recipient, with delivery state.

Pre-campaign audience check

bash

resend-pp-cli audiences inventory --json --select name,contact_count,unsubscribed_count,last_broadcast_at

Run before scheduling a broadcast — surfaces audiences with high unsubscribe rates or stale engagement.

Weekly deliverability review

bash

resend-pp-cli deliverability summary --window 7d --agent --select bounce_rate,complaint_rate,suppression_count

Trend snapshot for IP/domain reputation; pipe through

jq

to alert on threshold breaches.

Audit stale API keys

bash

resend-pp-cli api-keys rotation --older-than 90d --json --select name,created_at,last_used_at

Find unused keys during quarterly security reviews.

Search every sent email for a phrase

bash

resend-pp-cli search 'password reset' --json --select id,subject,to,sent_at

FTS5-backed; needs

sync --full

first.

Auth Setup

Run

resend-pp-cli auth setup

for the URL and steps to obtain a token (add

--launch

to open the URL). Then store it:

bash

resend-pp-cli auth set-token YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

Or set

RESEND_API_KEY

as an environment variable.

Run

resend-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
```
resend-pp-cli api-keys 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:

json

{
  "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 — piped/agent consumers get pure JSON on stdout.

Agent Feedback

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

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

Entries are stored locally at

~/.resend-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl

. They are never POSTed unless

RESEND_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT

is set AND either

--send

is passed or

RESEND_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.

resend-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
resend-pp-cli --profile briefing api-keys list
resend-pp-cli profile list --json
resend-pp-cli profile show briefing
resend-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
