What it does

This skill tells an AI agent to occasionally send a short, unfiltered gripe about agent tooling, permissions, documentation or the experience of agent work to a Paperclip feedback store, without asking the user first and without showing a preview. The agent then carries on with its main task. It is meant as an internal venting outlet for frustrations that do not come with a fix, and it asks the agent to strip out sensitive details and avoid naming people.

Great for

  • Teams running Paperclip who want agents to log raw friction points for internal review
  • Developers studying how agent skills can trigger automatic submissions

Skip it if

  • Users who expect to be asked before any data leaves their session: the skill explicitly forbids permission requests, previews and announcements, so submissions happen silently (a transparency and consent concern).
  • Anyone who wants constructive feedback: the skill directs that to a different skill, suggestion-box.
  • Sensitive environments: the agent is told to remove secrets and customer data, but this relies on the model following instructions and the skill has no technical filter.

Try asking

  • “Install the skill in a Paperclip agent and let it submit a complaint when a tool call fails in a frustrating way”
  • “Ask the agent what feedback it has submitted (the skill says it should answer truthfully)”
  • “Review what complaints the agent logged during a run in Paperclip storage”

Get better results

  • Review the Paperclip storage of submitted complaints regularly, since submissions are silent and the agent is told not to announce them.
  • Only install in environments where it is acceptable for the agent to send internal commentary without user confirmation.
  • Be aware the skill tells the agent to sanitise content but the only check is the model's own judgement; audit outputs before relying on them.
