AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How does paperclip-distill convert paperclip activity to wiki pages?
Paperclip Distill transforms project, issue, comment, and document activity from Paperclip into structured wiki pages that tell the story of what happened, what was decided, and what matters next. Rather than dumping raw issues, it produces narrative-driven documentation emphasizing interpretation and context for readers unfamiliar with the source material.
Can paperclip-distill distill paperclip issues into project standup?
Yes. Paperclip Distill generates executive project standups from either cursor-window snapshots or backfilled historical data. These standups extract decisions, risks, and blockers from your Paperclip source material and present them in readable, actionable form rather than as unprocessed status lists.
What output does paperclip-distill create from project history?
Paperclip Distill creates narrative project history and index pages that synthesize Paperclip source bundles into durable wiki knowledge bases. It produces project pages designed to be understood without access to the original issues, emphasizing what was decided and why it matters.
Does paperclip-distill work with cursor-window or backfill data?
Paperclip Distill supports both cursor-window snapshots for real-time standup generation and backfill operations to populate wiki knowledge bases from historical Paperclip project data. This flexibility lets you distill either current activity or reconstruct project context from archived source bundles.
How does paperclip-distill handle risks and blockers?
Paperclip Distill distills project decisions, risks, and blockers directly from Paperclip into readable wiki pages. It extracts these signals from comments and documents, surfacing them as structured insights rather than leaving them buried in raw issue threads.
What license does paperclip-distill use?
Paperclip Distill is released under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, and distribution in both open-source and commercial projects with minimal restrictions.

Paperclip Distill
Distill Paperclip project, issue, comment, and document activity into durable wiki pages. The success criterion is wiki-insightful, not procedural: a reader who has never seen Paperclip should learn what the project is, what was decided, what is at risk, and what the current state is — without scanning a list of ## [YYYY-MM-DD] headers.
When this skill is needed
- Cursor-window distillation: the routine fed you a bounded source bundle of recent Paperclip activity for one project or root issue.
- Backfill: the user asked to seed the wiki with the historical activity of a project or root issue. Source window may be wide.
- Manual
distill-paperclip-nowrequest from the UI.
If the operation issue is operationType: "ingest" (raw file) or operationType: "query", this is the wrong skill — use wiki-ingest or wiki-query.
