What it does
Paperclip Converting Plans To Tasks is an agent skill from paperclipai/paperclip. Decide whether Paperclip work needs delegation, and connect justified tasks with owners and real dependencies. Use when turning an authorized plan into work.
Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: The open-source app everyone uses to manage agents at work. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Turning an authorized plan into work
Example prompts
- “/paperclip-converting-plans-to-tasks”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de9ab8e. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Paperclip Converting Plans To Tasks loads about 341 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 167 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Plans to tasks
Keep small, cohesive work on its current ordinary task with one end-to-end owner. A plan's steps, files, and phases do not each need a task.
Create a separate task only for a useful boundary: another owner or permission, independent parallel output, a real prerequisite, independent review, or substantial follow-up that needs its own lifecycle. Check the available agents before assigning. Give each delegate enough context and a clear deliverable to work independently.
Set real dependencies through blockedByIssueIds (or the native dependency tool).
Parent/child nesting and prose do not delay execution. Independent work can start
now; dependent work must wait for its prerequisite. Verify the saved relationships.
Reviewers publish findings on their own review task and complete it, including an adverse verdict. Make its description self-contained. Connect the verdict to the owner who must act on it; do not require writes to the parent.
Honor existing authorization and approval boundaries. Use Paperclip's planning mechanics when approval is required; decomposition does not create new approval gates.
