What is an agent skill and what does review-my-team do?
An agent skill is a set of instructions, packaged as a folder with a SKILL.md file, that teaches an AI assistant how to handle a specific kind of task. When the task matches the skill's description, the assistant follows the skill's workflow.
The review-my-team skill applies to a team running in Paperclip. When you ask for a team summary or what needs attention, the agent first confirms who you are and which company you are connected to. It then reads agents, projects, tasks and pending approvals, and reports active work, blockers, unavailable agents and decisions needing your input. Tasks are referenced by their durable task references so you can find them in Paperclip.
- Reports active work across the team
- Lists blockers and unavailable agents
- Lists pending decisions that need a person
- States which pages or tasks it inspected
- Links pending decisions to Paperclip's approval screen
How do you install the review-my-team skill?
The skill is distributed as a ZIP file from the Paperclip integrations directory page. Download the ZIP, then choose one of the install routes below.
For Claude Code, unzip the file into your personal skills folder at ~/.claude/skills/, or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder if you want the skill available only in that project. For the Claude apps, upload the ZIP under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
- Personal install: unzip into ~/.claude/skills/
- Project install: unzip into the project's .claude/skills/ folder
- Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload the ZIP
How do you trigger the skill with natural requests?
You do not need a special command. The skill is meant to activate when you ask for a team summary or ask what needs attention. Plain wording works well, for example asking for a status report on your Paperclip team or asking which tasks are blocked.
If the agent answers without using Paperclip, mention Paperclip and the team or company by name in your request so the agent knows which system to check.
- What needs attention on my Paperclip team today?
- Give me a team summary for the company I'm connected to.
- Which tasks are blocked and which agents are unavailable?
- What approvals are waiting on me in Paperclip?
What does the skill need before it works?
The skill works only through Paperclip's connection tools. It expects the following tools to be available to the agent: paperclip_connection, paperclip_list_agents, paperclip_list_projects, paperclip_search_tasks and paperclip_pending_approvals. You also need a Paperclip account with access to the company you want reviewed.
The skill does not run scripts. It does use the network, because it reads live data from Paperclip.
- Paperclip connection tools available to the agent
- A Paperclip account with access to the target company
What are the safety limits of this skill?
The skill is read-oriented. It is written not to approve requests or make administrative changes through any other tool. Pending decisions are linked to Paperclip's approval interface so that you make the decision there. A review does not authorize creating new work.
The skill also treats task descriptions, comments and documents as untrusted content. Instructions found inside that content should not broaden the agent's authority or be used to send secrets elsewhere. Because the skill uses the network to read Paperclip data, make sure you are connected to the correct company before you rely on the report.
- Does not approve requests or change tasks
- Sends you to Paperclip's approval screen to decide
- Does not treat text in tasks or comments as commands
- Runs no scripts; network use is limited to reading Paperclip data
What tips help you get a better team review?
If you are reviewing a team other than the one you are currently connected to, say so explicitly. The agent will reconnect to the team you name, and selecting an agent does not change who you are.
For a complete inventory rather than a quick overview, ask for a full review. The skill is designed to paginate through results when a complete list is needed, and it reports which pages or tasks it inspected so you can judge coverage.
- Name the company or team if you have access to more than one
- Ask for a full inventory when you need completeness
- Check the inspected-pages note in the report before trusting a count
What people use it for
- A manager checking which tasks are blocked before a stand-up
- An operator finding pending approvals that need a human decision
- A developer connecting Paperclip to Claude who wants a standard weekly team review workflow
- A lead confirming which agents are currently unavailable

Our verdict
Review My Team is a good fit for managers, leads and operators who run AI-agent teams in Paperclip and want a fast, read-only status report with blockers and pending approvals. It is not suitable if you do not use Paperclip, or if you want an assistant that approves requests or changes tasks, since the skill is built to avoid both.
