- Design Philosophy Domain DrivenDomain-Driven Design as a lens for system architecture — bounded contexts, aggregates, ubiquitous language, context mapping, domain events, and strategic vs tactical patterns. Use when modeling complex business domains, defining service boundaries, or evaluating whether a system's structure reflects its domain.microsoft/amplifier-bundle-systems-design
- Design Philosophy LinuxThe Unix/Linux design philosophy as a lens for system design — mechanism vs policy, composability, small tools, text streams, convention over configuration, and the principle of least surprise. Use when evaluating designs for composability, simplicity, or separation of concerns.microsoft/amplifier-bundle-systems-design
- Design Philosophy Object OrientedObject-oriented design principles as a lens for system architecture — SOLID, composition over inheritance, the actor model, design patterns (and when they're wrong), encapsulation, polymorphism, and responsibility-driven design. Use when evaluating code organization, module boundaries, or object/component relationships.microsoft/amplifier-bundle-systems-design
- DevRuns a Microsoft App locally with hot reload via `ms app dev`. Use when starting or restarting local development and surfacing the App Player URL.microsoft/Managed-Apps
- Diagnose Why Work StoppedHow to handle "why did this work stop / why is this looping?" assignments. Forensics first on the named tree, surface the exact stop-point, frame the fix as a general product rule that respects three invariants (productive work continues, only real blockers stop work, no infinite loops), and deliver a plan — no code changes — gated by board/CTO approval before child issues are created. Use whenever the issue title or body asks for forensics on a stalled, looping, or "went too deep" tree.microsoft/amplifier-app-paperclip

- Doc MaintenanceAudit top-level documentation (README, SPEC, PRODUCT) against recent git history to find drift — shipped features missing from docs or features listed as upcoming that already landed. Proposes minimal edits, creates a branch, and opens a PR. Use when asked to review docs for accuracy, after major feature merges, or on a periodic schedule.microsoft/amplifier-app-paperclip

- Index RefreshUse when an operation issue is an index refresh — typically the hourly index-refresh routine. Rebuild `wiki/index.md` so each entry has a tight, scannable one-line summary and the catalog tracks the actual contents of `wiki/`. Resolve drift between the index and recent log activity, but do not edit page content.microsoft/amplifier-app-paperclip

- List AppsDiscovers Microsoft Apps in the active environment via `ms app list --json` and optional `ms app show --json`. Use when listing or locating apps.microsoft/Managed-Apps

- PaperclipInteract with the Paperclip control plane API to manage tasks, coordinate with other agents, and follow company governance. Use when you need to check assignments, update task status, delegate work, post comments, set up or manage routines (recurring scheduled tasks), or call any Paperclip API endpoint. Do NOT use for the actual domain work itself (writing code, research, etc.) — only for Paperclip coordination.microsoft/amplifier-app-paperclip
- Paperclip Converting Plans To TasksThe 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.microsoft/amplifier-app-paperclip
- Paperclip Create AgentCreate new agents in Paperclip with governance-aware hiring. Use when you need to inspect adapter configuration options, compare existing agent configs, draft a new agent prompt/config, and submit a hire request.microsoft/amplifier-app-paperclip
- Paperclip Create PluginCreate and develop external Paperclip plugins with the CLI-first workflow. Use when scaffolding a new plugin, working on a local plugin against a running Paperclip instance, or updating plugin authoring docs. Covers `paperclipai plugin init`, the local install loop via `paperclipai plugin install <path>`, worker/UI rebuild and reload semantics, and the required success checklist.microsoft/amplifier-app-paperclip
- Paperclip DevDevelop and operate a local Paperclip instance — start and stop servers, pull updates from master, run builds and tests, manage worktrees, back up databases, and diagnose problems. Use whenever you need to work on the Paperclip codebase itself or keep a running instance healthy.microsoft/amplifier-app-paperclip
- Para Memory FilesFile-based memory system using Tiago Forte's PARA method. Use this skill whenever you need to store, retrieve, update, or organize knowledge across sessions. Covers three memory layers: (1) Knowledge graph in PARA folders with atomic YAML facts, (2) Daily notes as raw timeline, (3) Tacit knowledge about user patterns. Also handles planning files, memory decay, weekly synthesis, and recall via qmd. Trigger on any memory operation: saving facts, writing daily notes, creating entities, running weekmicrosoft/amplifier-app-paperclip

- PlayOpens a Microsoft App in the browser via `ms app play`. Use when opening the live deployed version or a cloud-hosted preview (main branch or specific commit SHA) without starting a local dev server.microsoft/Managed-Apps
- Pr ReportReview a pull request or contribution deeply, explain it tutorial-style for a maintainer, and produce a polished report artifact such as HTML or Markdown. Use when asked to analyze a PR, explain a contributor's design decisions, compare it with similar systems, or prepare a merge recommendation.microsoft/amplifier-app-paperclip
- PrcheckloopIteratively gets a GitHub pull request's checks green. Detects the PR for the current branch or uses a provided PR number, waits for every check on the latest head SHA to appear and finish, investigates failing checks, fixes actionable code or test issues, pushes, and repeats. Escalates with a precise blocker when failures are external, flaky, or not safely fixable. Use when a PR still has unsuccessful checks after review fixes, including after greploop.microsoft/amplifier-app-paperclip
