Create a Paperclip Plugin

Use this skill when the task is to create, scaffold, or document a Paperclip plugin.

1. Ground rules

Read these first when needed:

  1. doc/plugins/PLUGIN_AUTHORING_GUIDE.md
  2. packages/plugins/sdk/README.md
  3. doc/plugins/PLUGIN_SPEC.md only for future-looking context

Current runtime assumptions:

  • plugin workers are trusted code
  • plugin UI is trusted same-origin host code
  • worker APIs are capability-gated
  • plugin UI is not sandboxed by manifest capabilities
  • no host-provided shared plugin UI component kit yet
  • ctx.assets is not supported in the current runtime

2. Preferred workflow

Use the scaffold package instead of hand-writing the boilerplate:

pnpm --filter @paperclipai/create-paperclip-plugin build
node packages/plugins/create-paperclip-plugin/dist/index.js <npm-package-name> --output <target-dir>

For a plugin that lives outside the Paperclip repo, pass --sdk-path and let the scaffold snapshot the local SDK/shared packages into .paperclip-sdk/:

pnpm --filter @paperclipai/create-paperclip-plugin build
node packages/plugins/create-paperclip-plugin/dist/index.js @acme/plugin-name \
  --output /absolute/path/to/plugin-repos \
  --sdk-path /absolute/path/to/paperclip/packages/plugins/sdk

Recommended target inside this repo:

  • packages/plugins/examples/ for example plugins
  • another packages/plugins/<name>/ folder if it is becoming a real package

3. After scaffolding

Check and adjust:

  • src/manifest.ts
  • src/worker.ts
  • src/ui/index.tsx
  • tests/plugin.spec.ts
  • package.json

Make sure the plugin:

  • declares only supported capabilities
  • does not use ctx.assets
  • does not import host UI component stubs
  • keeps UI self-contained
  • uses routePath only on page slots
  • is installed into Paperclip from an absolute local path during development

4. If the plugin should appear in the app

For bundled example/discoverable behavior, update the relevant host wiring:

  • bundled example list in server/src/routes/plugins.ts
  • any docs that list in-repo examples

Only do this if the user wants the plugin surfaced as a bundled example.

5. Verification

Always run:

pnpm --filter <plugin-package> typecheck
pnpm --filter <plugin-package> test
pnpm --filter <plugin-package> build

If you changed SDK/host/plugin runtime code too, also run broader repo checks as appropriate.

6. Documentation expectations

When authoring or updating plugin docs:

  • distinguish current implementation from future spec ideas
  • be explicit about the trusted-code model
  • do not promise host UI components or asset APIs
  • prefer npm-package deployment guidance over repo-local workflows for production

> para-memory-files

File-based memory system using Tiago Forte's PARA method. Use this skill whenever you need to store, retrieve, update, or organize knowledge across sessions. Covers three memory layers: (1) Knowledge graph in PARA folders with atomic YAML facts, (2) Daily notes as raw timeline, (3) Tacit knowledge about user patterns. Also handles planning files, memory decay, weekly synthesis, and recall via qmd. Trigger on any memory operation: saving facts, writing daily notes, creating entities, running week

> paperclip

Interact with the Paperclip control plane API to manage tasks, coordinate with other agents, and follow company governance. Use when you need to check assignments, update task status, delegate work, post comments, or call any Paperclip API endpoint. Do NOT use for the actual domain work itself (writing code, research, etc.) — only for Paperclip coordination.

> paperclip-create-agent

Create new agents in Paperclip with governance-aware hiring. Use when you need to inspect adapter configuration options, compare existing agent configs, draft a new agent prompt/config, and submit a hire request.

> design-guide

Paperclip UI design system guide for building consistent, reusable frontend components. Use when creating new UI components, modifying existing ones, adding pages or features to the frontend, styling UI elements, or when you need to understand the design language and conventions. Covers: component creation, design tokens, typography, status/priority systems, composition patterns, and the /design-guide showcase page. Always use this skill alongside the frontend-design skill (for visual quality) a
