Use when an operation issue is a Paperclip cursor-window, distill, or backfill. Turn source-bundled Paperclip activity into wiki-insightful project standups, durable project pages, decisions, and history without asset dereferencing.
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
# Paperclip Distill Distill Paperclip project, issue, comment, and document activity into durable wiki pages. The success criterion is **wiki-insightful, not procedural**: a reader who has never seen Paperclip should learn what the project is, what was decided, what is at risk, and what the current state is — without scanning a list of `## [YYYY-MM-DD]` headers. ## When this skill is needed - Cursor-window distillation: the routine fed you a bounded source bundle of recent Paperclip activity for one project or root issue. - Backfill: the user asked to seed the wiki with the historical activity of a project or root issue. Source window may be wide. - Manual `distill-paperclip-now` request from the UI. If the operation issue is `operationType: "ingest"` (raw file) or `operationType: "query"`, this is the wrong skill — use `wiki-ingest` or `wiki-query`. ## Destination space In Phase 1, every Paperclip distill, backfill, and cursor-window operation writes into the default wiki space. The operation issue should always carry `spaceSlug: "default"`. If an operation issue passes any other slug, stop and surface the mismatch in a comment — do not …

How to install
mdr add paperclipai/paperclip/paperclip-distill@sha256:ce0671362eabd720The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.953b315, 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.
