acpx-profile-identity

acpx-profile-identity is a cursor rule for Cursor from paperclipai/paperclip. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,026 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for keeping ACPX provider profiles and their saved work compatible. ACPX is a shared system for running different coding-agent providers through one interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps define release fingerprints, profile versions, and compatibility checks for ACPX providers and their generated packs.
Why use it?
It prevents saved sessions or installed provider packs from being reused after an incompatible provider, shared layer, or contract change. It also makes identity changes consistent across providers.

About the project

Paperclip is a Node.js server and React application for coordinating AI agents as a business team, with goals, organizational roles, budgets, governance, and work tracking in one interface. It is used by people managing multiple agents or autonomous agent organizations across tools such as OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. The catalogue includes skills, agents, an MCP add-on, and an instruction for working with Paperclip.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

acpx-profile-identity scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ACPX profile identity

Scope and purpose

This rule covers ACPX provider profiles, their release declarations and pins, the profile generator, the provider-pack contract registry, and the ACPX driver and provider code. Every ACPX harness (Claude, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Grok, Pi, Antigravity and any new one) uses the same identity model, so a change behaves the same way for all of them.

The identity model

A provider profile in acpx-profiles.json has a version and a commandDigest. Three things decide whether saved work and installed packs stay compatible:

What changed What carries it Effect
The provider's upstream release: package versions, platform closures, a launcher shipped verbatim The profile's commandDigest Saved sessions for that provider start fresh
The shared ACPX layer The profile's acpxVersion and the Runner's ACPX patch in the pack contractDigest The same for every provider
A runner/pack contract: schemas, generated catalogs, Rust shapes and env keys The provider pack's contractDigest Older image packs are not reused

Ordinary Runner source changes, refactors and comments change none of these.

Required behavior

  • Attest the upstream release. Declare each provider's attestation in ACPX_RELEASE_ATTESTATIONS (scripts/acpx-release-attestations.mjs), using the kind that fits: installed-command, launcher, closure or declaration. The digest binds only what a repackager copies verbatim from the upstream release, so the same release gives the same digest wherever the pack is built or installed.
  • Keep Paperclip source and the ACPX layer out of provider digests. Runner/pack compatibility belongs to the contractDigest. When Runner code and a pack must agree on a new field or behavior, declare it in a schema under protocol/ and generate the TypeScript, so the contract registry covers it.
  • Regenerate instead of hand-editing. After an upstream bump or a pin change, run pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner generate:acpx-profiles. check:acpx-profiles runs in the build and refuses a stale digest.
  • Keep the profile version. An upstream release changes the digest, not the version. A new provider starts at version 1. Bump a version only to reset every saved session for that provider on purpose, such as a change in saved session semantics that exact admission cannot detect. Record the reason in the PR and in the version table in profile-compatibility.test.ts.
  • Keep earlier versions decodable. Saved inputs with any version from 1 through the current one decode, so recovery can refuse them. Launch and recovery admission require the exact current profile and digest.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
