## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip /tmp/paperclip && ln -s /tmp/paperclip/.agents/skills/paperclip-create-plugin ~/.claude/skills/paperclip-create-plugin
```

## From README

Create and develop a Paperclip plugin Use this skill when the task is to create, scaffold, or iterate on a Paperclip plugin against a local Paperclip instance. Default: build the plugin OUTSIDE Paperclip core Plugins are their own packages. Unless the task explicitly asks for a bundled in-repo example, do not add plugin source under packages/plugins/ in this repo. Scaffold the plugin into a directory outside the Paperclip checkout (e.g. /dev/paperclip-plugins/ ). it into the running Paperclip instance by local absolute path. Edit code in the external package; let Paperclip pick up rebuilt output. Only edit Paperclip core itself when the user asks to surface a plugin as a bundled example (server/src/routes/plugins.ts, in-repo example lists, docs).
