Wanderlust GOAT — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the

wanderlust-goat-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:

bash

npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press install wanderlust-goat --cli-only

Verify:
```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli --version
```
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 1.23+):

bash

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/travel/wanderlust-goat/cmd/wanderlust-goat-pp-cli@latest

--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.

Most 'near me' tools return the 40 closest results. Wanderlust GOAT returns the 3 results that match your stated identity and criteria. It fuses Nominatim, OSRM walking time, OSM Overpass, Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Atlas Obscura, Reddit, editorial scrapes (Eater, Time Out, NYT 36 Hours, Michelin), and language-aware regional sources (Tabelog, Naver, Le Fooding) through one trust-weighted score, with local-language names preserved alongside transliterations. Free, no API keys, with an offline SQLite store and a JSON

research-plan

surface for agent orchestration.

When to Use This CLI

Reach for wanderlust-goat when you need persona-shaped place discovery within walking distance, especially for cross-cultural travel where English search dominates and the local-language gems are hidden. Best for trip prep (sync-city), in-the-moment 'what should I walk to from here' (near, goat), photographer routing (golden-hour, route-view), and agent-orchestrated travel research (research-plan). Prefer Mapbox/Google MCPs only if you have their keys and need raw geocoding without persona scoring.

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.

Persona-shaped fanout

near
— Find the 3-5 amazing things within walking distance that match your stated identity and criteria — not the 40 closest things.
When an agent needs the curated picks for a persona at a location, this is the single command that fuses ~12 sources into one ranked, sourced answer.
bash
```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli near "Park Hyatt Tokyo" --criteria "vintage jazz kissaten, no tourists, great pour-over" --identity "coffee snob, into 70s Japanese kissaten culture" --minutes 15 --agent
```
goat
— Same fanout as
```
near
```
but with no LLM in the runtime path — criteria-to-source mapping uses static lookup tables so the CLI works standalone.
Agents and humans both need a GOAT mode that works without an LLM caller — useful for shell pipelines, cron, and offline runs.
bash
```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli goat "35.6895,139.6917" --criteria "vintage clothing, vinyl, hidden" --minutes 20 --agent
```

Agent-orchestration plumbing

research-plan
— Output a JSON query plan agents execute in a loop — typed, country-aware, ordered by trust, ready to fan out.
Drop this into an agent loop to let the agent run multi-source travel research without re-deriving the fanout plan every call.
bash
```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli research-plan "Bukchon Hanok Village, Seoul" --criteria "hand-pulled noodles, locals only" --identity "food traveler" --json
```

Cross-source walks

crossover
— Find pairs where a high-trust restaurant sits within 200m of a Wikipedia-notable historic site or Atlas Obscura entry — food + culture in one walk.
When the persona wants 'a great meal next to something interesting', this is the spatial query that compounds two layers.
bash
```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli crossover --anchor "Marais, Paris" --radius 800m --pair food+culture --agent
```
golden-hour
— Compute sunrise/sunset/blue-hour locally (pure Go, no API) and pair with viewpoints photographers know about within walking distance.
When an agent needs to brief Felix the photographer for tonight's shoot, this is the one call that fuses the math and the spots.
bash
```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli golden-hour "Eiffel Tower" --date 2026-06-15 --minutes 20 --agent
```
route-view
— Walking polyline from A to B, then everything interesting along the path — not just at the endpoints.
For walks where the journey IS the point, the agent needs everything along the path — not the closest thing to either end.
bash
```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli route-view "Shibuya Station, Tokyo" "Yoyogi Park, Tokyo" --buffer 150m --agent
```
quiet-hour
— Places that locals describe as quiet at the requested time, intersected with OSM opening hours and walking radius.
Agents helping someone find the un-crowded version of a popular cafe need the Reddit-quiet-signal layer the persona always asks for but never gets.
bash
```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli quiet-hour "Yurakucho, Tokyo" --minutes 15 --day mon --time 14:00 --agent
```

Local store + sync

sync-city
— Pre-cache editorial best-of, Reddit threads, Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, OSM POIs, Atlas Obscura, and regional-language sources for offline use.
Agents working offline or with flaky connectivity need a synced local store; this populates it.
bash
```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli sync-city tokyo --layers all --agent
```
why
— Print every source that mentioned a place, the trust weight, country boost, walking time, criteria match, and the final goat-score breakdown.
When the agent's pick surprises the user, this command answers 'why was this ranked #1?' in one call.
bash
```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli why "珈琲 美美" --json
```
reddit-quotes
— Surface the highest-scored Reddit comment snippets that mention a place — verbatim quotes, no LLM summarization.
Agents giving travel advice need the actual local quotes, not a summary that can hallucinate. This returns the raw text with provenance.
bash
```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli reddit-quotes "Kohi Bibi" --json
```
coverage
— Per-tier row counts, last-sync ages, country-match boost, and which v1 sources are missing for a synced city.
Before an agent trusts a
near
answer, it should check whether the local store actually has the layers it claims to fuse.
bash
```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli coverage tokyo --json
```

Command Reference

places — Geocode addresses and look up canonical place coordinates via Nominatim (foundation layer for the multi-source GOAT stack).

```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli places reverse
```
— Reverse geocode lat/lng to a structured address.
```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli places search
```
— Forward geocode an address, place name, or business to lat/lng candidates.

Finding the right command

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

bash

wanderlust-goat-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

Kissaten hunt in Tokyo (Mira's morning)

bash

wanderlust-goat-pp-cli near "Park Hyatt Tokyo" --criteria "vintage jazz kissaten, no tourists, great pour-over" --identity "coffee snob, into 70s Japanese kissaten culture" --minutes 15 --agent --select results.name,results.name_local,results.why_special,results.sources,results.walking_min

Returns 3-5 picks with local-language names preserved (e.g. 珈琲美美), trust-weighted across Tabelog 3.5+, jp.wikipedia history, /r/japan threads, Time Out Tokyo's vintage-cafe list, and OSM

cafe + cuisine=japanese

tagging. The dotted --select narrows the JSON to the fields the persona cares about so an agent doesn't burn context on raw payload.

Photographer's blue-hour route in Seoul (Felix's evening)

bash

wanderlust-goat-pp-cli golden-hour "Bukchon Hanok Village, Seoul" --date 2026-06-15 --minutes 25 --agent

Computes blue-hour and golden-hour windows for the date locally (no API), then ranks viewpoints from OSM

tourism=viewpoint

+ Atlas Obscura viewpoint entries + ko.wikipedia notable-views by elevation tag and Reddit-accessibility keyword match. Agent can plan the walk in one call.

Agent-orchestrated research plan for a friend's Paris weekend

bash

wanderlust-goat-pp-cli research-plan "Marais, Paris" --criteria "natural wine, neighborhood spot, no scene" --identity "food writer" --json

Emits typed JSON describing which clients to call (Le Fooding, Pudlo, fr.wikivoyage, /r/Paris, Eater Paris, Michelin Bib Gourmand) with parameters pre-filled. Drop into an agent loop: agent executes each, then you call

near

with

--data-source local

to fuse the cached results.

Crossover walk: a great meal next to something interesting

bash

wanderlust-goat-pp-cli crossover --anchor "Asakusa, Tokyo" --radius 800m --pair food+culture --agent --csv

Spatial join finds high-trust restaurants within 200m of a Wikipedia-notable historic site or Atlas Obscura entry. CSV output lets you paste pairs into a planning doc; --agent forces structured exit codes for cron scripts.

Pre-trip city sync (Priya's two-weeks-out workflow)

bash

wanderlust-goat-pp-cli sync-city paris --layers all --concurrency 2 --since 30d

Polite-rate-limited fanout: editorial scrapes + multilingual Wikipedia + Wikivoyage + OSM Overpass POIs + Le Fooding + Pudlo + /r/Paris top threads ≥10 upvotes, all into local SQLite. After this, every other command can run with

--data-source local

(or

auto

) — no internet needed in the cafe with bad wifi.

Auth Setup

No API keys. Every v1 source is free and key-less.

One environment variable matters: Nominatim's usage policy requires every client to send a User-Agent that includes a real contact URL or email — placeholder UAs (

example.com

) are blocked at the edge. Set it once:

bash

export WANDERLUST_GOAT_UA="wanderlust-goat-pp-cli/0.1 (+https://github.com/<you>/<repo>)"

If unset, the CLI falls back to a generic UA that may receive 403s from Nominatim. The same UA flows through to Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Reddit, and Overpass — being a polite citizen across the public stack.

Run

wanderlust-goat-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
```
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli places search --query example-value --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:

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:

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

Entries are stored locally at

~/.wanderlust-goat-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl

. They are never POSTed unless

WANDERLUST_GOAT_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT

is set AND either

--send

is passed or

WANDERLUST_GOAT_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.

wanderlust-goat-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli --profile briefing places search --query example-value
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli profile list --json
wanderlust-goat-pp-cli profile show briefing
wanderlust-goat-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
5	API error (upstream issue)
7	Rate limited (wait and retry)
10	Config error
