Run one Terminal-Bench task through a bounded Paperclip smoke/diagnosis/fix loop. Use when asked to drive Terminal-Bench until it passes, rerun a Terminal-Bench loop, or iterate with board-gated fixes and diagnosis.
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
# Terminal-Bench Loop A repeatable operating skill for driving one Terminal-Bench problem to a passing smoke through Paperclip, with explicit issue topology, bounded runs, board-gated product fixes, and worktree continuity. This skill is **operational + diagnostic**, not engineering. It coordinates issues, artifacts, and approvals around a Terminal-Bench loop. It does not authorize code changes — every accepted product fix lands as a separate implementation child issue after a board confirmation. Canonical execution model: read `doc/execution-semantics.md` before starting a loop or moving any loop issue. Every loop issue must rest in a state the doc allows: terminal (`done`/`cancelled`), explicitly live (active run / queued wake), explicitly waiting (`in_review` with participant/interaction/approval), or explicit recovery/blocker (`blocked` with `blockedByIssueIds` and a named owner). ## When to use Trigger on an assignment whose title or body matches any of: - "run Terminal-Bench in a loop", "loop \<task-name\> through Paperclip" - "drive Terminal-Bench fix-git", "iterate on Terminal-Bench until it passes" …

How to install
mdr add paperclipai/paperclip/terminal-bench-loop@sha256:4acbe1f619317250The 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.
