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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00024 | $0.00145 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00058 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00029 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00015 |
Grade A, and why
create-case 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.
What it actually says
Create a Case
Read the case instructions
before acting. If this skill is installed outside the checkout, locate the
Paperclip repository and read skills/paperclip/references/cases.md there.
Follow that guide to create and kick off the user's case using native
create_case or its documented REST equivalent. Include a Mermaid
stateDiagram-v2 map and prose explaining the transitions in the workflow document.
Return the case and primary task links, together with the accepted kickoff state.
What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

create-case is a skill published in the GitHub repository paperclipai/paperclip (107,044 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 145 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-21.
