Generate, implement, or review Paperclip capsule visuals. Use for capsule art, agent capsules, heartbeat status capsules, identicons, capsule banks, or brand-usage validation.

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 Capsules

Use this skill when creating or checking Paperclip capsule visuals. The central rule is simple: **the capsule is the agent**. A capsule is not generic chrome, a button shape, a random status pill, or background decoration.

The one approved decorative exception is the canonical hero capsule bank. Treat it as a specific Paperclip brand surface, not a license to make arbitrary capsule wallpaper.

## When to Use

- Generating Paperclip capsule art, agent avatars, capsule fields, hero capsule banks, or seeded capsule identicons.
- Implementing an individual agent capsule in product UI.
- Rendering heartbeat status capsules for agent status.
- Building Paperclip feature videos or marketing graphics that use the capsule motif.
- Reviewing a design for capsule brand correctness.

## When Not to Use

- Generic rounded pills, badges, buttons, tags, nav items, or decorative blobs.
- Non-agent illustrations where capsules would only be visual texture.
- Product UI color choices unrelated to agents or heartbeat status.
- Replacing the app's existing `AgentCapsule` or status-color helpers from memory.

## Non-Negotiable Rules

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add paperclipai/paperclip/paperclip-capsules@sha256:dd659ccb46e10533

The 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.
