SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of managing Paperclip adapters by centralizing installation, activation, overrides, and runtime inspection into one operator workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Adapter Discovery: List built-in and external adapters to see what is available and whether each one is enabled or healthy.
  • Adapter Lifecycle Management: Install adapters from npm or a local path, enable or disable them, uninstall externals, and reinstall npm-based packages when needed.
  • Development and Debugging: Hot-reload local adapter changes, pause or resume overrides, inspect config schemas, and read adapter documentation or UI log parsers for integration work.
  • Use Case: A board operator can install a new third-party adapter, verify its configuration, turn it on for a company, and then iterate locally without restarting the Paperclip instance.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to list the current Paperclip adapters, install the adapter you need, and verify its configuration schema and enabled status.

Frequently Asked Questions about paperclip-manage-adapters

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage Paperclip adapters without restarting the instance?

You can manage Paperclip adapters without restarting by using the hot-reload feature to apply local adapter changes dynamically. This allows you to iterate on adapter configurations locally while the Paperclip instance continues running in local_trusted mode.

How do I install and enable Paperclip adapters from npm?

Install Paperclip adapters from npm by requesting the adapter installation, verifying its config schema, and enabling it for your company. You need board operator access and API access to the adapter management endpoints to complete the installation and activation process.

Can I inspect adapter configuration schemas in Paperclip?

Yes, you can inspect adapter configuration schemas in Paperclip to verify settings before activation. The schema inspection feature allows operators to read adapter documentation and UI log parsers, ensuring correct integration setup and configuration validation.

Do I need board operator access to disable or uninstall Paperclip adapters?

Yes, board operator access is required to disable or uninstall Paperclip adapters. You must also have a running Paperclip instance in local_trusted or equivalent mode with API access to the adapter management endpoints to perform lifecycle operations.

What's the best way to override and hot-reload local Paperclip adapter changes?

The best way to override and hot-reload local Paperclip adapter changes is through the centralized operator workflow. You can pause or resume overrides, apply local-path installations, and hot-reload changes directly without restarting the Paperclip instance.

Why does adapter hot-reload require local_trusted mode in Paperclip?

Adapter hot-reload requires local_trusted mode in Paperclip because it dynamically applies local code changes to a running instance. This mode ensures secure API access to adapter management endpoints while allowing runtime modifications without full system restarts.
