What it does

This is a maintenance playbook for an AI agent working on the Paperclip codebase. When asked, the agent audits an existing project-local verification skill and its feature and agent-access maps against the current source code, fixes proven outdated references or recipes, and reports what is covered, what is changed, and what gaps remain. It tells the agent to read source routes and permissions, run the repo's map structure check, and drive the running app through the existing verification workflow, while keeping product code and permission rules off-limits for edits.

Great for

  • Paperclip maintainers keeping their verification skill and product maps current after code changes
  • Developers auditing whether every business operation has an API and a permitted agent path
  • Teams that want honest coverage reports separating source review from live proof

Skip it if

  • Ordinary end users with no existing verification skill, since it assumes one already exists and points to a separate creation skill otherwise
  • Anyone expecting it to change product APIs or permissions, which it explicitly forbids during a maintenance run
  • Projects outside the Paperclip layout where map locations differ, since it only defines conventions for Paperclip and defers to existing locations elsewhere

Try asking

  • “/maintain-verification-skill”
  • “Audit the verify skill for the agent access map after the recent routes change”
  • “Reconcile feature and agent access coverage for the issues area and report remaining gaps”
  • “Run a full verification maintenance pass and separate source-only findings from live results”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Name a specific area for a targeted audit, since a targeted run is reported only for its named areas and not as a full pass
  • Expect the live pass to start and drive a real local app, so check that no other instance is in use before running
  • Review proposed map and skill corrections in a PR, since the skill keeps evidence there rather than in a shared ledger
