At a glance

Interact with the Paperclip control plane API to manage tasks, coordinate with other agents, and follow company governance.

  • You need to check assignments
  • SKILL.md covers Setup and Installation, Terminology, Authentication and The Heartbeat Procedure, plus 13 more sections
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder; calls jq, npx and pnpm; needs PAPERCLIP_API_KEY
  • Update task status

What it does

Paperclip is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Interact with the Paperclip control plane API to manage tasks, coordinate with other agents, and follow company governance. Use when you need to check assignments, update task status, delegate work, post comments, set up or manage routines (recurring scheduled tasks), or call any Paperclip API endpoint. Do NOT use for the actual domain work itself (writing code, research, etc.) — only for Paperclip coordination.

Its SKILL.md is about 8.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api-reference.md`, `references/artifacts.md` and `references/company-skills.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering REST APIs and Scheduled and recurring tasks. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to check assignments
  • Update task status
  • Manage routines (recurring scheduled tasks)
  • Call any Paperclip API endpoint

Example prompts

  • “/paperclip”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A Bash shell
  • A credential in PAPERCLIP_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • jq
    • npx
    • pnpm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx and pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • PAPERCLIP_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Paperclip loads about 8.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~30k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,819 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~8.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~30k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 3,819 words (~8,942 tokens).

“You run in heartbeats — short execution windows triggered by Paperclip. Each heartbeat, you wake up, check your work, do something useful, and exit. You do not run continuously.”
