Create and develop external Paperclip plugins with the CLI-first workflow. Use when scaffolding a plugin, iterating on a local plugin, installing it into Paperclip, or updating plugin authoring docs.
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
# Create and develop a Paperclip plugin Use this skill when the task is to create, scaffold, or iterate on a Paperclip plugin against a local Paperclip instance. ## 1. Default: build the plugin OUTSIDE Paperclip core Plugins are their own packages. Unless the task **explicitly** asks for a bundled in-repo example, do not add plugin source under `packages/plugins/` in this repo. - Scaffold the plugin into a directory outside the Paperclip checkout (e.g. `~/dev/paperclip-plugins/<name>`). - Install it into the running Paperclip instance by local absolute path. - Edit code in the external package; let Paperclip pick up rebuilt output. Only edit Paperclip core itself when the user asks to surface a plugin as a bundled example (`server/src/routes/plugins.ts`, in-repo example lists, docs). ## 2. Ground rules Reference docs when you need detail: 1. `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_AUTHORING_GUIDE.md` 2. `packages/plugins/sdk/README.md` 3. `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_SPEC.md` — future-looking context only Current runtime assumptions: - plugin workers are trusted code - plugin UI is trusted same-origin host code - worker APIs are capability-gated - plugin UI is not sandboxed by manifest capabilities …

How to install
mdr add paperclipai/paperclip/paperclip-create-plugin@sha256:6318d09f9d3aa64dThe 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.
