create-agent-adapter from paperclipai/paperclip is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add paperclipai/paperclip/create-agent-adapter@git:20260914.f1d5786Pins git:20260914.f1d5786 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Create or modify Paperclip agent adapters across server, UI, and CLI surfaces. Use when adding support for a new CLI agent, API agent, custom process, or adapter package.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Creating a Paperclip Agent Adapter
An adapter bridges Paperclip's orchestration layer to a specific AI agent runtime (Claude Code, Codex CLI, a custom process, an HTTP endpoint, etc.). Each adapter is a self-contained package that provides implementations for **three consumers**: the server, the UI, and the CLI.

## 1. Architecture Overview
```
packages/adapters/<name>/
src/
index.ts # Shared metadata (type, label, models, agentConfigurationDoc)
server/
index.ts # Server exports: execute, sessionCodec, parse helpers
execute.ts # Core execution logic (AdapterExecutionContext -> AdapterExecutionResult)
parse.ts # Stdout/result parsing for the agent's output format
ui/
index.ts # UI exports: parseStdoutLine, buildConfig
parse-stdout.ts # Line-by-line stdout -> TranscriptEntry[] for the run viewer
build-config.ts # CreateConfigValues -> adapterConfig JSON for agent creation form
cli/
index.ts # CLI exports: formatStdoutEvent
format-event.ts # Colored terminal output for `paperclipai run --watch`
package.json
tsconfig.json

How to install
mdr add paperclipai/paperclip/create-agent-adapter@sha256:f8181f66e0cdf15eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.f1d5786, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
