Fully automated review pipeline: CEO, Design, and Eng reviews with auto-decisions using 6 principles (completeness, boil lakes, pragmatic, DRY, explicit over clever, bias toward action). Only pauses for premise confirmation. Classifies decisions as Mechanical…

Performance regression detection. Captures TTFB, FCP, LCP, bundle sizes, request counts. Regression thresholds: timing >50% or >500ms. Baseline comparison, trend tracking, budget compliance scorecard.

Headless Chromium CLI for QA testing and site dogfooding. 100-200ms per command after startup. Persistent state with cookies, tabs, sessions. Snapshot system with element refs. Navigate, interact, verify page state, take screenshots, check responsive layouts,…

Post-deploy monitoring. Watches live app via headless browser for console errors, performance regressions, page failures, visual anomalies. Alert on deltas not absolutes, transient tolerance (2+ consecutive checks). Default 10-minute monitoring window.…

Warns before destructive commands (rm -rf, DROP TABLE, force-push, git reset --hard, kubectl delete, docker force-rm). Session-scoped. Exceptions for common temp dirs (node_modules, .next, __pycache__).

Multi-AI second opinion via OpenAI Codex CLI. Three modes: Review (pass/fail gate), Challenge (adversarial edge-case finder), Consult (freeform with session continuity). Read-only with streaming output and thinking traces. Cross-model analysis when review has…

Infrastructure-first security audit across 14 phases: attack surface mapping, secrets archaeology (git history), supply chain analysis, CI/CD pipeline security, LLM/AI threat detection, OWASP Top 10, STRIDE threat modeling. Confidence gates, exploit…

Build a complete design system from scratch. Competitive research via web search and browse. SAFE/RISK breakdown of choices. Self-contained HTML preview page. Outputs DESIGN.md as project design source of truth.

Trace Paperclip runs, requests, and full CI suites in Honeycomb. Use to find traces, diagnose latency, configure opt-in OpenTelemetry, or add missing spans.

Verify Paperclip from a source checkout, published npm install, or existing staging or production stack. Select the environment, data state, version, and platform; drive real UI or CLI journeys and capture evidence. Route deployment to the private Cloud…

Guide the user's first Paperclip task when its description invokes /first-task. Interpret the opening answer, clarify their goal, propose a plan or a single task, and wait for approval before hiring agents or executing approved work.

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.

Diagnose and fix slow Paperclip PostgreSQL queries using Cloud and Neon evidence, local reproduction, performance and result comparisons, regression tests, and a PR with passing checks. Use for costly queries, repeated database work, or slow requests with a…

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.

Generate a project-local verification skill that drives your app the way a user does — any language, framework, or platform. Use for /create-verification-skill, "make a control skill for this repo", or when a project has no scripted way to prove…

Keep Paperclip stories and their downstream catalog aligned with the feature map and production UI. Use to reconcile story drift, classify prototypes, update fixtures, or maintain feature coverage.

Investigate why a defect or insufficiency was introduced and accepted by tracing code, pull requests, task context, and accessible development sessions. Use for second-order learning after a fix, blameless root-cause analysis, or preventing a recurring class…

Design, refine, implement, or review application UI and user journeys with minimal controls, clear actions, shared components, realistic prototypes, and polished behavior. Use for product screens, forms, onboarding, navigation, settings, and chat/task…

Ask a few focused questions to define a goal, checkable finish conditions, evidence of completion, and constraints. Use when the user wants help clarifying what success means before doing the work.

Structure any communication artifact — documents, reports, plans, issue comments, PR descriptions, emails, presentations, slides, charts, and dashboards — using Jean-luc Doumont's "Trees, Maps, and Theorems" method. Use whenever the goal is to get a message…

Reproduce triaged Slack bugs through a configured app-control adapter, verify existing fixes, and open a bounded draft pull request only after before-and-after proof. Use only from the configured Benny repro automation.

Configure Benny and prepare its triage and repro automations. Use when installing Benny or changing its Slack, tracker, repository, routing, control, model, or budget settings.

Sketch types, signatures, and module structure before code, then stay in the loop while implementation fills in. Use for /architect, 'architect this', 'design this', or non-trivial work where jumping to code would lock in the wrong shape.

Spawn N parallel candidates at the same task, pick a base, graft the strongest parts of the losers into it. Use for /arena, 'arena this', 'throw it in the arena', or when one attempt at a non-trivial artifact would lock in the wrong shape.

Keep paperclip-docs in lockstep with the parent paperclipai/paperclip codebase. Detects code-surface changes (CLI, env vars, API routes, adapters, plugin SDK, schemas) and produces friendly-tutorial-voice doc updates. Two modes — `nightly` (tracks parent's…
