Paperclip Converting Plans To Tasks

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
The Paperclip way of converting a plan into executable tasks. Use whenever you are asked to plan, scope, or break down work inside a Paperclip company. Industry-agnostic guidance on how to translate a plan into assigned issues with the right specialty, dependencies, and parallelization so Paperclip's executor can pick up the work — it does not prescribe a plan format. Pair with the `paperclip` skill, which covers the mechanics of writing the plan document and reassigning the issue.

From the source SKILL.md

A companion skill for turning a plan into executable Paperclip work. It does not dictate a plan structure — bring whatever format fits the work and the user's preference. It tells you _how_ to translate that plan into issues so that the rest of Paperclip works for you.
