paperclip-distill

Use when an operation issue is a Paperclip cursor-window, distill, or backfill. Turn source-bundled Paperclip activity into wiki-insightful project standups, durable project pages, decisions, and history without asset dereferencing.

Quality

Content

92%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, highly actionable instruction skill with a clear sequenced workflow and explicit verification. Its one gap is progressive disclosure: the monolithic body carries detailed format and anti-pattern material that could move into supporting reference files.

Suggestions

Extract the per-page format specs (standup/index/decisions/history section templates) into a references/ file and link to it from the workflow steps.

Move the six-item anti-pattern catalog into a separate reference, keeping only a one-line summary plus a pointer in SKILL.md.

Optionally split the log-entry and frontmatter templates into a short references/templates.md so the main body reads as an overview pointing to detailed materials.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense and domain-specific — page conventions, spaceSlug rules, asset-gate policy — with no padding explaining concepts Claude already knows; every section earns its place relative to the multi-file workflow it covers.

3 / 3

Actionability

Concrete file paths (wiki/projects/<slug>/standup.md), exact frontmatter fields, ordered section lists, and a copy-paste-ready log-entry template give fully executable guidance for an instruction skill.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A 10-step sequenced workflow with an explicit Verification checklist, a no-signal branch, and bundle-warning surfacing provides the validation checkpoints and feedback loops a batch write operation requires.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is a single 125-line file with no bundle references; the detailed per-page format specs and six-item anti-pattern catalog are inline content that could be split into reference files, matching the "content that should be separate is inline" anchor.

Description

85%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, explicit description that clearly states both capability and trigger conditions with a well-scoped niche. Its only weakness is reliance on system jargon over the natural-language terms a user would actually say.

Suggestions

Add natural-language trigger variations users might say — e.g. "summarize a Paperclip project", "update the wiki from Paperclip", "write a project standup" — alongside the operation-type terms.

Soften or gloss the jargon "cursor-window" so the trigger reads naturally to someone asking for a routine distillation.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — "project standups, durable project pages, decisions, and history" — with an explicit constraint ("without asset dereferencing"), matching the multi-action anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicit "Use when an operation issue is a Paperclip cursor-window, distill, or backfill" trigger plus a clear statement of what the skill produces, answering both what and when.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

"distill" and "backfill" are natural verbs, but "cursor-window", "operation issue", and "asset dereferencing" are system jargon, and common user phrasings like "summarize", "update the wiki", or "write a standup" are not covered.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Paperclip cursor-window/distill/backfill niche is narrow and distinct from ingest/query operations, making mis-trigger unlikely.
