Heads-up
The repository root has no licence; this folder's LICENSE (Apache-2.0) and NOTICE apply. The author notes 1688 blocks data-centre IPs, so run it from a residential connection.
Good for
Comparing many 1688 suppliers and telling factories from traders.
Not for
Alibaba.com, or ordering and contacting suppliers.

Install

From the GitHub repository mvanhorn/printing-press-library at commit b815f4c, take only the library/commerce/1688 folder and put it in this project's .agents/skills/pp-1688/ (for Claude Code, also copy it to .claude/skills/pp-1688/). Don't run its scripts yet; tell me where you installed it and what it needs.
