Use for Paperclip-managed tasks and heartbeats: reading task context, delivering task documents or files, updating completion or blockers, coordinating or delegating work, and following company governance. Includes control plane API operations for assignments, comments, approvals, and routines.
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 Skill
You run in **heartbeats** — short execution windows triggered by Paperclip. Each heartbeat, you wake up, check your work, do something useful, and exit. You do not run continuously.
## Terminology
In Paperclip, **task** and **issue** refer to the same work item. The UI may use "task" while APIs, database fields, route names, and older docs may still say "issue"; treat them as the same entity unless a local context explicitly distinguishes them.
**Task documents (API runtimes).** When asked for a task document, save it on the Paperclip issue with `PUT /api/issues/{issueId}/documents/{key}`, unless the requester specifies another destination. Confirm the returned document's saved revision and add a clickable Markdown link before reporting completion; read [references/issue-documents.md](references/issue-documents.md) for the payload and revision-safe updates. Downloadable files follow [Generated Artifacts and Work Products](#generated-artifacts-and-work-products).

How to install
mdr add paperclipai/paperclip/paperclip@sha256:275c7506ff5264f5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.dff6355, 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.
