Paperclip UI design system guide for building consistent, reusable frontend components. Use when creating new UI components, modifying existing ones, adding pages or features to the frontend, styling UI elements, or when you need to understand the design language and conventions. Covers: component creation, design tokens, typography, status/priority systems, composition patterns, and the /design-guide showcase page. Always use this skill alongside the frontend-design skill (for visual quality) and the web-design-guidelines skill (for web best practices).
Manage a Paperclip company as a board member via chat. Covers onboarding (company creation, CEO setup, hiring plans), agent management, approvals, task monitoring, cost oversight, and work product review. Use this skill whenever the user wants to interact with their Paperclip control plane. Do NOT use for installing or bootstrapping the Paperclip server itself — use the `paperclip` skill's `references/setup-installation.md` instead.
The Paperclip way of converting a plan into executable tasks. Use whenever you are asked to plan, scope, or break down work inside a Paperclip company. Industry-agnostic guidance on how to translate a plan into assigned issues with the right specialty, dependencies, and parallelization so Paperclip's executor can pick up the work — it does not prescribe a plan format. Pair with the `paperclip` skill, which covers the mechanics of writing the plan document and reassigning the issue.
Create new agents in Paperclip with governance-aware hiring. Use when you need to inspect adapter configuration options, compare existing agent configs, draft a new agent prompt/config, and submit a hire request.
Interact with the Paperclip control plane API to manage tasks, coordinate with other agents, and follow company governance. Use when you need to check assignments, update task status, delegate work, post comments, set up or manage routines (recurring scheduled tasks), or call any Paperclip API endpoint. Do NOT use for the actual domain work itself (writing code, research, etc.) — only for Paperclip coordination.
File-based memory system using Tiago Forte's PARA method. Use this skill whenever you need to store, retrieve, update, or organize knowledge across sessions. Covers three memory layers: (1) Knowledge graph in PARA folders with atomic YAML facts, (2) Daily notes as raw timeline, (3) Tacit knowledge about user patterns. Also handles planning files, memory decay, weekly synthesis, and recall via qmd. Trigger on any memory operation: saving facts, writing daily notes, creating entities, running weekly synthesis, recalling past context, or managing plans.
Use when an operation issue is an index refresh — typically the hourly index-refresh routine. Rebuild `wiki/index.md` so each entry has a tight, scannable one-line summary and the catalog tracks the actual contents of `wiki/`. Resolve drift between the index and recent log activity, but do not edit page content.
Use when an operation issue is a Paperclip cursor-window, distill, or backfill — `operationType: "distill"` or `"backfill"` and the body references a Paperclip source bundle for a project or root issue. Turn raw Paperclip activity into a wiki-insightful project page, decisions log, and history note. This skill exists specifically to replace the stiff, datestamp-heavy templated output that the deterministic distiller produces.
