paperclip

Editorial and source context

What this Skill does

Paperclip is a source-indexed Agent Skill for data, research & analysis work. Based on the SKILL.md description, it focuses on search and read full-text biomedical papers, fda/pmda/ema regulatory documents, clinical trial…. Use the linked GitHub file to confirm scope and prerequisites before enabling it.

What the author says

Search and read full-text biomedical papers, FDA/PMDA/EMA regulatory documents, clinical trial registries, and UniProt/PDB/ChEMBL entries with the Paperclip CLI from GXL. Covers installing and authenticating the `paperclip` binary with a PAPERCLIP_API_KEY, the read-only virtual filesystem under /papers, /fda, /trials, /proteins and /clipboard, source-scoped semantic search, corpus-wide grep, metadata lookup and SQL, map/reduce reading across many papers, figure vision analysis, opt-in paper repositories with claim verification, and line-pinned citations. Use when asked to install paperclip, run paperclip search/grep/map/reduce/sql/repo, find or read biomedical literature, regulatory filings or clinical trials through paperclip, or produce citations with line numbers.

Compatibility and requirements

• Use an agent runtime that supports Agent Skills and the linked SKILL.md format.
• Confirm the source repository's tools, SDKs, and platform prerequisites for api design work.

How to install or import it

• Open the linked GitHub SKILL.md and review its scope and setup instructions.
• Install or import the skill using the agent runtime's documented workflow.
• Run a small, non-sensitive test and verify the output before broader use.

Permissions and risks

• Review every command, file path, network request, dependency, and credential scope before enabling it.
• GitHub stars indicate popularity, not safety or correctness; validate the source and test with non-sensitive data.

Example workflows

• Ask an AI agent to apply Paperclip to api design work described in the source record.
• Have the agent state assumptions, required tools, and expected output before using this data, research & analysis skill.
• Compare the result with the linked GitHub SKILL.md and verify it against your project requirements.
