What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you create new Paperclip agents safely and consistently, so hiring decisions, instruction bundles, and runtime settings are aligned with company governance instead of being improvised.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Adapter and context discovery: Checks the local Paperclip environment, compares existing agent configurations, and inspects allowed icons before drafting a hire.
  • Template-driven instruction design: Guides you to choose an exact template, an adjacent template, or a baseline fallback for the new agent's instruction bundle.
  • Governed agent creation: Supports managed or external instruction bundles, approval-aware hires, source issue linkage, and least-privilege configuration.
  • Use cases: Hiring a coder, QA, designer, or security-oriented agent; setting up a new role with the right skills and reporting line; preparing a hire request that is ready for review.

Quick Start

Use the paperclip-create-agent skill to draft a governance-aware hire for a new Paperclip agent, choosing the right template, bundle mode, icon, and configuration from the repository guidance.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Paperclip agent with governance and approval workflows?

You can set up approval-aware agent hires by selecting an instruction bundle mode, linking a source issue, and applying least-privilege configuration. The hire request includes governance metadata so the new agent is auditable and ready for review.

What is an instruction bundle and when do I need it for agent creation?

An instruction bundle defines operational rules for a new Paperclip agent. You assemble it during agent creation by choosing a baseline, exact, or adjacent template, then configuring it for managed or external execution modes.

How do I choose the right template when hiring a new Paperclip agent?

Compare existing agent configurations in your local Paperclip environment to select an exact, adjacent, or baseline fallback template. The choice depends on the target role like coder, QA, designer, or security agent.

Can I use existing agent configurations when setting up a new Paperclip agent?

Yes, adapter and context discovery checks the local Paperclip environment and compares existing agent configurations. This comparison guides template selection and ensures configuration consistency across managed or external instruction modes.

Do I need adapter and icon discovery before submitting a Paperclip agent hire request?

Yes, adapter and icon discovery is required before submitting a hire request. This step inspects allowed icons and adapters, ensuring the new agent's configuration is valid, least-privilege, and compatible with repository guidance.

What are the limitations of governed agent creation in Paperclip?

Governed agent creation is constrained by the allowed adapters, icons, and templates in your local Paperclip environment. It cannot bypass approval workflows, meaning all new hires require governance-aware metadata and review before running.
