task-planning
Agent skill frompaperclipai/paperclip
Write or revise a useful Paperclip plan with a clear outcome and verification. Use when a plan is requested or uncertainty needs resolving before execution.

1# Task planning23Plan only as much as the work needs. If execution is authorized and the next step4is small and clear, do it. A request for a plan alone does not require child tasks5or a new approval gate.67Describe the intended outcome, relevant constraints, chosen approach, and how to8verify success. Include uncertainties or decisions that affect execution. Use the9user's preferred format; keep implementation steps within one owner's task unless10another owner, useful parallel output, dependency, or independent review warrants11separate work.1213Save a requested plan as the issue document with key `plan`. Update its current14revision instead of duplicating it, and link the saved document in your response.15Use the native document tools when available; legacy agents follow the `paperclip`16skill's document and planning API mechanics.1718Respect planning mode and explicit approval requests. When approval is required,19request confirmation of the latest plan revision and wait for that decision.20After acceptance, execute cohesive work on the current ordinary task. Use21`paperclip-converting-plans-to-tasks` when delegation is justified.
