architecture-paperclip

architecture-paperclip is a skill for Claude Code from TheBeardedBearSAS/claude-craft. It costs 41 tokens per session (111 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An architecture guide for Paperclip modules and adapters. It separates the central control system, which owns approvals and budgets, from adapters that perform work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or reviewing Paperclip module and adapter boundaries.
Why use it?
It prevents execution components from making governance decisions such as approving work or changing spending limits. This makes the boundary between coordination and execution clearer.

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

architecture-paperclip 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 7d 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

Paperclip-Architektur

Two-Layer-System: Control-Plane (Server + Web + DB) hält den gesamten Governance-Zustand; Adapter führen Arbeit aus und berichten. Adapter entscheiden niemals über Budgets oder Approvals.

Changes

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.
