Set up a Paperclip agent and routine that applies a selected code-maintenance skill to a repository and opens pull requests. Use for nightly maintenance bots, scheduled code gardening, or webhook-driven maintenance, using an existing agent or a new hire.
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
# Set Up a Code Maintenance Bot Turn the user's maintenance intent into a runnable Paperclip routine with a named agent, accessible repository and skill, bounded work, and inspectable PRs. The maintenance skill supplies the domain judgment: test auditing, documentation upkeep, dependency maintenance, refactoring, or another chosen task. If asked only to draft instructions or a setup plan, produce that artifact and stop before provisioning or running anything. Do not perform the maintenance while setting up the bot. An immediate trial is a separate choice from scheduling. ## 1. Establish the destination and agent Start with the instance and agent choices, using answers already supplied: - **Instance:** show a clickable, verified Paperclip web URL and ask which instance to use. If none is known, ask for its URL; never assume localhost, the instance used in an earlier task, or the first connected tool. - **Company:** resolve the company within that instance; ask if ambiguous. - **Agent:** list accessible, suitable agents with names and links, and offer **use an existing agent** or **create a new agent**. Do not silently choose. …

How to install
mdr add paperclipai/paperclip/setup-code-maintenance-bot@sha256:b09a56f4f7c126d2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.5498e8b, 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.
