Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "paperclipai/paperclip:skills/paperclip-converting-plans-to-tasks" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip /tmp/paperclip && ln -s /tmp/paperclip/skills/paperclip-converting-plans-to-tasks ~/.claude/skills/paperclip-converting-plans-to-tasks
From README
Plans to tasks Keep small, cohesive work on its current ordinary task with one end-to-end owner. A plan's steps, files, and phases do not each need a task. Create a separate task only for a useful boundary: another owner or permission, independent parallel output, a real prerequisite, independent review, or substantial follow-up that needs its own lifecycle. Check the available agents before assigning. Give each delegate enough context and a clear deliverable to work independently. Set real dependencies through blockedByIssueIds (or the native dependency tool). Parent/child nesting and prose do not delay execution. Independent work can start now; dependent work must wait for its prerequisite. Verify the saved relationships. Reviewers publish findings on their own review task and complete it, including an adverse verdict. Make its description self-contained. Connect the verdict to the owner who must act on it; do not require writes to the parent.
