paperclip: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/paperclip-evals/SKILL.md

paperclip-evals is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from paperclipai/paperclip. It costs 34 tokens per session (744 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for choosing, inspecting, running, and reporting Paperclip evaluations. It distinguishes Runner evaluations from full product evaluations and preserves evidence, provenance, cost, and failure classifications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select an evaluation, find its definitions, review a live run, classify failures, and report supported findings.
Why use it?
It helps interpret test results consistently and prevents different kinds of evaluations from being mixed together.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is paperclipai/paperclip's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on paperclip itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything paperclip configures →

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

paperclip-evals 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 1mo 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.

Paperclip evals

Use this skill when a request concerns Paperclip evaluation selection, interpretation, evidence, history, or a live run. Read doc/evals.md in the Paperclip repository first. It defines the two families and their boundaries.

Discover the repository

Do not assume the skill's installed location is inside a checkout. Locate the repo explicitly with git rev-parse --show-toplevel from the current directory, or inspect likely workspace roots and select the checkout containing package.json, tests/runner-e2e, and packages/paperclip-runner. Locate the private sibling paperclip-evals only when a Runner Eval needs its definitions; use an explicit PAPERCLIP_EVALS_ROOT or a discovered sibling checkout. Never invent a relative path from this copied skill into the repository.

Route the request

Choose Runner Evals for real runner/provider protocol behavior against the mock control plane. Authoritative details are in packages/paperclip-runner/docs/runner-protocol-live-evals.md and the sibling paperclip-evals/evals/paperclip-runner definitions.

Choose Product E2E Evals for real browser/server/database/runner/provider workflows, including local and Daytona environments. Read tests/runner-e2e/README.md, then FIXTURES.md, SECURITY.md, or EVERYDAY-WORKFLOWS.md as relevant. Everyday Workflows remain Product E2E even when imported into Evalbook. “Headless” is a browser mode, not a family.

Work safely

Start with read-only catalog inspection and credential-free validation. For Product E2E use pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck, pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit, and pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --list; run one explicit cell only when the user has authorized a live/paid run and the needed credentials and immutable Daytona image are configured. For Runner Evals use the pinned eval revision and the documented workflow/CLI. Never use a partial selector as evidence of full coverage.

Keep source revisions, definition/catalog fingerprints, model/profile, environment, selected cells, retries, timing, usage/cost coverage, and grader version attached to every interpretation. Preserve partial attempts and classify failures as product, model/provider behavior, grading/evidence, or infrastructure from the observed failure and supported cause. A usable completed behavior failure is not infrastructure; missing provider/profile, transport, startup, or evidence requires examining the evidence before choosing the cause.

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.
