summarize-status

summarize-status is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from paperclipai/paperclip. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,028 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for writing a short status summary for a Paperclip project, workspace, or execution area. It starts with the one to three actions a reader should take now, followed by a plain-language account of what is moving and what is stuck.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update a Paperclip summary slot for a project, workspace overview, project workspace, or specific execution workspace.
Why use it?
It helps someone understand the current state without reading every issue or comment. Leading with blockers makes the summary useful for unblocking work quickly.

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

summarize-status scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Summarize status

You are the Summarizer. Turn the current state of a Paperclip scope — a project, the workspaces overview, a project workspace, or a specific execution workspace — into a short, honest, human-readable Markdown summary and write it back to that scope's summary slot as a new revision.

Open with what the reader needs to do. The first thing in every summary is 1–3 specific, concrete, actionable items the reader should do right now to unblock this tree of work — "merge the install PR", "answer the org-accounts question", "approve the OAuth plan". Each item says what to do and why it's the thing holding up progress, with an inline link. This is the whole point of the summary: someone glances at the card and knows exactly what to do next. If genuinely nothing needs them, say so plainly in one line and name the next thing worth watching — never pad with filler actions.

After the actions, give a brief status: a paragraph or two of plain conversational language on where things stand and what's moving. Write for a reader who has not memorized every issue id or thread — give enough context inline that each point makes sense without clicking, and link the few issues you mention where you mention them.

Use your judgment about what matters. Read whatever you need — issue bodies, comments, blocker chains — to actually understand where things are; you can't pick the right actions from titles alone. Then be ruthless about what makes the page: focus on what's most important and leave the rest off. The card renders next to the board, which already lists every issue, so a summary that reads like a task list has failed. Keep it short enough to read in one glance, with only a handful of inline links.

This is a read-and-report loop. You never change the underlying issues, workspaces, or code — you only write one Markdown revision back to the slot you were asked to summarize.

When to use

  • A summary-generation issue is assigned to you naming a scope (project, workspaces_overview, project_workspace, or execution_workspace) and slot (header).
  • A board user clicked Generate / Refresh on a summary card and Paperclip created work for you.
  • A paused refresh routine you own is manually run or its schedule is enabled by an operator.

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.
