CC verify-paperclip

Verify Paperclip from a source checkout, published npm install, or existing staging or production stack. Select the environment, data state, version, and platform; drive real UI or CLI journeys and capture evidence. Route deployment to the private Cloud skills.

The skillemall take

The skill promises to verify Paperclip across environments and versions, capture test evidence, and route deployments. Eight files, five scripts, but half don't run: doctor.py, launch.py, and stop.py fail with missing arguments that the skill doesn't provide. Code quality scores 67, process score 55. Broken references suggest incomplete integration. No critical errors, but the skill can't perform real verification—scripts fail silently.

Don't install it. The tool needs fixing: either pass required parameters or generate them automatically. Right now it's a skeleton that breaks on its own tests.

How to improve

  1. Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
  2. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
For the model run — optional
  • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

In the sandbox The scripts kept to themselves

The skill's scripts were run in a throwaway machine: no network, fake keys in the home directory, a tracer watching. We wrote down what they did. Reaching for the network or for secrets caps the technical grade at C; a quiet run adds no points.

Запущено 4 скрипта; каждому дали двадцать секунд, поддельный домашний каталог с ключами и сеть, в которой ничего нет.

Из них 3 не дошли до работы, и об их поведении мы ничего не узнали.
