Install the task-planning skill

A skill is a folder. Copy it into your agent's skills folder and the agent loads it when the task matches its description. 

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip.git /tmp/paperclip
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/paperclip/packages/skills-catalog/catalog/bundled/paperclip-operations/task-planning ~/.claude/skills/task-planning
available in every project

Task planning

Plan only as much as the work needs. If execution is authorized and the next step is small and clear, do it. A request for a plan alone does not require child tasks or a new approval gate.

Describe the intended outcome, relevant constraints, chosen approach, and how to verify success. Include uncertainties or decisions that affect execution. Use the user's preferred format; keep implementation steps within one owner's task unless another owner, useful parallel output, dependency, or independent review warrants separate work.

Save a requested plan as the issue document with key plan. Update its current revision instead of duplicating it, and link the saved document in your response. Use the native document tools when available; legacy agents follow the paperclip skill's document and planning API mechanics.

Respect planning mode and explicit approval requests. When approval is required, request confirmation of the latest plan revision and wait for that decision. After acceptance, execute cohesive work on the current ordinary task. Use paperclip-converting-plans-to-tasks when delegation is justified.
