+## Skills Commands
+
+`paperclipai skills` covers three distinct operations:
+
+1. **Company install** — adds or updates a row in `company_skills` for the
+   whole company. This is what `skills install`, `skills import`, `skills create`,
+   and `skills scan-projects` do.
+2. **Agent attach** — replaces an agent's *desired* company skill set
+   (`skills agent sync`/`clear`). This is a desired-state operation on the
+   agent's adapter config; it does not change the company library.
+3. **Adapter runtime sync** — the adapter reconciles the desired skill set
+   with files on disk and reports an `AgentSkillSnapshot` (`skills agent list`).
+   `skills agent sync` triggers this automatically after updating desired state.
+
+Required Paperclip runtime skills (heartbeat, etc.) remain server-enforced and
+are added on top of whatever the desired set names.
+
+### Catalog (app-shipped skills)
+
+The Paperclip app ships a curated catalog under `@paperclipai/skills-catalog`.
+Browse and inspect commands never mutate company state; `install` adds a catalog
+skill to the company library.
+
+```sh
+pnpm paperclipai skills browse [--kind bundled|optional] [--category <slug>] [--query <text>]
+pnpm paperclipai skills search "<text>" [--kind bundled|optional] [--category <slug>]
+pnpm paperclipai skills inspect <catalog-id-or-key-or-slug>
+pnpm paperclipai skills install <catalog-id-or-key-or-slug> [--as <slug>] [--force] --company-id <company-id>
+```
+
+Catalog semantics:
+
+- **Bundled** skills live in `packages/skills-catalog/catalog/bundled/<category>/<slug>`
+  and are recommended defaults for most companies. They use canonical key
+  `paperclipai/bundled/<category>/<slug>`.
+- **Optional** skills live in `packages/skills-catalog/catalog/optional/<category>/<slug>`
+  and are role-specific or domain-specific (browser, AWS ops, etc.). Same key
+  shape with `optional` in place of `bundled`.
+- `skills install` materializes the catalog files into a company-managed skill
+  directory and records provenance (`catalogId`, `catalogKey`, `packageVersion`,
+  `originHash`, …) so future updates and audit decisions stay consistent.
+- `--as <slug>` overrides the company skill slug. `--force` may replace a
+  same-key catalog-managed skill but never bypasses hard validation or hard-stop
+  audit findings.
+
+Examples:
+
+```sh
+pnpm paperclipai skills browse --kind bundled --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills search "pull request" --kind bundled
+pnpm paperclipai skills inspect github-pr-workflow
+pnpm paperclipai skills install github-pr-workflow --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills install paperclipai:optional:browser:agent-browser --company-id <company-id>
+```
+
+External GitHub, skills.sh, local-path, and URL sources still go through
+`skills import`; catalog commands are for the app-shipped catalog only.
+
+### Company library
+
+```sh
+pnpm paperclipai skills list --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills show <skill-id-or-key-or-slug> --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills file <skill-id-or-key-or-slug> [--path SKILL.md] --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills import <source> --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills create --name "Review PRs" [--slug review-prs] [--description "..."] [--body-file SKILL.md] --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills scan-projects [--project-id <id>...] [--workspace-id <id>...] --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills check [skill-id-or-key-or-slug] --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills update <skill-id-or-key-or-slug> [--force] --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills update --all [--force] --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills audit [skill-id-or-key-or-slug] --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills reset <skill-id-or-key-or-slug> [--yes] [--force] --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills remove <skill-id-or-key-or-slug> --yes --company-id <company-id>
+```
+
+`skills import <source>` accepts a skills.sh URL, the equivalent
+`<owner>/<repo>/<skill>` shorthand, a GitHub URL, a local path, or an
+`npx skills add …` command. See `references/company-skills.md` in the agent
+skill bundle for the source-type table.
+
+`skills check`, `skills update`, `skills audit`, and `skills reset` are the
+maintenance loop for catalog-installed skills:
+
+- `check` reports whether each skill's installed bytes match its pinned origin
+  (`hasUpdate`, `installedHash`, `originHash`, `updateHoldReason`,
+  `auditVerdict`).
+- `update` installs the pinned update through the existing install-update API.
+  `--all` checks every company skill and updates only those with
+  `hasUpdate=true`. `--force` discards local-modification or soft-audit holds;
+  hard-stop audit findings still block the update.
+- `audit` re-scans installed bytes and reports findings without executing
+  anything.
+- `reset` reinstalls a catalog-managed skill from its pinned origin, discarding
+  local edits. Prompts in a TTY; requires `--yes` for non-interactive use.
+
+### Agent attach
+
+```sh
+pnpm paperclipai skills agent list <agent-id-or-shortname> --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills agent sync <agent-id-or-shortname> --skill <skill-id-or-key-or-slug> [--skill <skill-id-or-key-or-slug>...] --company-id <company-id>
+pnpm paperclipai skills agent clear <agent-id-or-shortname> --yes --company-id <company-id>
+```
+
+`skills agent sync` replaces the agent's non-required desired skill set (it is
+not additive) and returns the resulting adapter `AgentSkillSnapshot`.
+`skills agent clear` sends an empty desired list. Required Paperclip skills are
+still enforced by the server in both cases.
+
+### Notes
+
+- Skill references accept company skill `id`, canonical `key`, or unique
+  `slug`; catalog references accept catalog `id`, `key`, or unique `slug`.
+- `skills file` prints raw file content in human mode so it can be piped.
+- `skills create --body-file -` reads the skill markdown body from stdin.
+- `skills remove`, `skills reset`, and `skills agent clear` prompt in a TTY and
+  require `--yes` in non-interactive use.
+- `--json` prints the raw API result for each command.

+## 8. First Admin Setup For Fresh Authenticated Installs
+
+Fresh authenticated installs start in `bootstrap_pending` until the first
+`instance_admin` exists.
+
+For `authenticated/private`, Paperclip supports a browser-first setup path:
+
+1. open the Paperclip URL from the private network or appliance UI
+2. sign in or create a Paperclip account
+3. choose `Claim this instance` on the setup screen
+
+That browser claim promotes the signed-in session user to the first instance
+admin and then falls through to normal onboarding. The endpoint is available
+only to real browser session actors in `authenticated/private`; unauthenticated
+requests, agent keys, board API keys, and local implicit board actors are
+rejected.
+
+The CLI fallback remains supported in all authenticated setup states:
+
+```sh
+pnpm paperclipai auth bootstrap-ceo
+```
+
+That command prints a one-time first-admin invite URL. Browser claim and
+bootstrap invite acceptance share the same first-admin transaction, so whichever
+path wins first makes later attempts return a conflict.
+
+For `authenticated/public`, browser first-admin claim is intentionally disabled.

+## App-Shipped Skills Catalog

+```
+
+Server and CLI import the generated manifest; they do not crawl repository
+paths at request time. Root `skills/` remains reserved for Paperclip runtime
+skills and is not part of the catalog.
+
+Validate the catalog without writing the manifest:

+`doc/plans/2026-05-26-skills-cli-catalog-contract.md`.

-## 7. Non-Terminal Issue Liveness Contract
+## 7. Accepted-Plan Decomposition
+
+An accepted plan confirmation is permission to decompose one specific accepted plan revision into child issues.
+
+This complements the existing accepted-plan continuation rule: once a plan is accepted, the source issue may create child implementation issues, but it must not start implementation work on the source issue itself during that continuation.
+
+Paperclip must treat accepted-plan decomposition as an exact-once control-plane primitive, not as a free-floating wake that any later run may interpret again.
+
+### Exact-once fingerprint
+
+The canonical decomposition fingerprint is:
+
+- `(sourceIssueId, acceptedPlanRevisionId)`
+
+Where:
+
+- `sourceIssueId` is the issue whose `plan` document revision was accepted
+- `acceptedPlanRevisionId` is the accepted `plan` document revision
+
+This is the product contract because the accepted revision is the thing being authorized for decomposition. Re-accepting, re-waking, or re-reading the same accepted revision must not authorize a second child tree. A later accepted revision on the same source issue is a new fingerprint and may produce a different decomposition result.
+
+An implementation may also store the accepted interaction id, acceptance run id, or other evidence, but those values must collapse onto the same uniqueness guarantee. They must not allow a second decomposition claim for the same `(sourceIssueId, acceptedPlanRevisionId)` pair.
+
+### Durable claim and durable result
+
+Before creating child issues, the first decomposition attempt must create or reuse a durable record for the fingerprint.
+
+That durable record must be able to answer, without reconstructing the thread from comments or transcripts:
+
+- whether decomposition for the fingerprint is `in_flight` or `completed`
+- which run or owner currently holds the in-flight claim
+- which child issues, if any, have already been created under that fingerprint
+- which final child issue ids belong to the completed result
+
+Paperclip does not need to mandate a specific storage shape in this document. The record may live in a dedicated table, source-issue execution state, interaction metadata, or another durable product surface. What matters is the contract:
+
+- the claim is durable before fan-out starts
+- partial progress is durable while fan-out is underway
+- the completed child result set is durable after fan-out finishes
+
+If a run creates some children and then dies, retries must continue from the same fingerprint and reuse the already-recorded partial result. They must not restart decomposition as if nothing happened.
+
+### Parent live path while decomposition is in flight
+
+While decomposition for an accepted fingerprint is incomplete, the source issue must expose an explicit live path for that same fingerprint.
+
+The accepted interaction by itself is only evidence that the plan was approved. It is not a sufficient live path once decomposition begins. The source issue must make it clear what moves the fingerprint forward next, such as:
+
+- the active decomposition run
+- a queued continuation wake for the same assignee
+- a monitor or explicit recovery action tied to the same decomposition claim
+- a blocked state that names the real blocker for finishing that claimed decomposition
+
+If the live run disappears, Paperclip must repair, resume, or visibly block the existing claim. It must not leave the source issue in a state where a second run can interpret the same acceptance as fresh permission to create sibling issues again.
+
+### Concurrent and repeat attempts
+
+Every later run that encounters the same accepted-plan fingerprint must consult the durable claim/result before creating children.
+
+- If no claim exists, the run may atomically create the claim and become the decomposition owner.
+- If a claim exists and is `in_flight`, the later run must reuse that claim. It may resume the same decomposition if it is the valid continuation owner, or it may exit after observing that another run already owns the work.
+- If a claim exists and is `completed`, the later run must reuse the recorded child result and must not create new sibling issues.
+- If the prior attempt ended after partial child creation, the retry must continue under the same fingerprint and preserve the already-created child ids.
+
+Concurrent accepted-plan runs are therefore idempotent relative to the fingerprint. Creating multiple child trees for the same `(sourceIssueId, acceptedPlanRevisionId)` pair is a product bug.

 Cheap model profiles are only for status-only operational recovery overhead. Paperclip may request `modelProfile: "cheap"` for bounded recovery-owner work that updates task liveness, clears bad status, records a disposition, or asks for human/manager intervention. Those wakes must carry guard context such as `allowDeliverableWork: false`, `allowDocumentUpdates: false`, and `resumeRequiresNormalModel: true`.
 
 Automatic retries that can continue source work must use the original/normal model lane. This includes failed source-work retries, process-loss retries, transient/scheduled retries, max-turn continuations, source-assignee continuations, assigned-todo dispatch recovery, and any run that can update repo files, issue documents, plans, work products, or attachments. When a cheap status-only recovery determines that actual work remains, it must hand back to a normal-model worker run before source work or persistent deliverable updates resume. Cheap recovery hints must be scrubbed from copied retry, resume, child, and downstream source-work contexts.

+# Skills CLI And Catalog Contract
+
+Status: Phase A engineering contract
+Date: 2026-05-26
+Source plan: approved Paperclip skills CLI and catalog plan
+
+This document freezes the first implementation contract for the `paperclipai skills`
+command group and the app-shipped skills catalog. It is intentionally a build
+contract, not a full product spec.
+
+## Decisions
+
+- `paperclipai skills` manages Paperclip company skills. It does not manage
+  local adapter homes directly.
+- Installing a skill means adding or updating a company-scoped
+  `company_skills` record.
+- Attaching a skill to an agent is a separate agent desired-state operation.
+- Adapter runtime sync is a third step handled through adapter skill APIs.
+- Root `skills/` remains reserved for Paperclip runtime and operational skills.
+- App-shipped catalog skills live in `packages/skills-catalog`, not root
+  `skills/`.
+- Catalog skills are inspectable before install. Inspection never mutates company
+  state.
+- External sources continue to use the existing company skill import API in the
+  first release. No separate marketplace, tap, or source registry is part of this
+  phase.
+- Agent desired skills continue to live in
+  `adapterConfig.paperclipSkillSync.desiredSkills` for the first release. Do not
+  add a normalized `agent_skills` table unless later implementation evidence
+  requires it.
+
+## Terms
+
+- Company skill: a row in `company_skills`, owned by one company.
+- Catalog skill: an app-shipped skill entry in `@paperclipai/skills-catalog`.
+- Skill ref: a user-supplied company skill reference. The CLI accepts company
+  skill `id`, canonical `key`, or unique `slug`.
+- Catalog ref: a user-supplied catalog reference. The CLI accepts catalog `id`,
+  canonical `key`, or unique `slug`.
+- Desired skills: the skill key set stored on the agent adapter config.
+- Runtime snapshot: the adapter-reported `AgentSkillSnapshot` for desired,
+  installed, missing, stale, external, required, or unsupported skills.
+
+## CLI Contract
+
+All skills commands use the existing client command stack:
+
+- Global client options: `--data-dir`, `--config`, `--context`, `--profile`,
+  `--api-base`, `--api-key`, and `--json`.
+- Company-scoped commands also accept `-C, --company-id <id>` and otherwise use
+  `PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID` or the active context profile.
+- Human output goes to stdout. Errors go to stderr.
+- `--json` prints pretty JSON and no decorative labels.
+- Successful commands exit `0`. Validation, API, or conflict errors exit `1`.
+- API errors use the existing `API error <status>: <message>` formatting.
+- Mutating commands print a short summary in human mode and the raw result in
+  JSON mode.
+- Commands that can delete or clear state must prompt in a TTY. In non-TTY mode
+  they must require `--yes`.
+
+### Company Skill Commands
+
+These commands are Phase B and must work over existing APIs.
+
+| Command | Behavior | JSON output |
+|---|---|---|
+| `skills list` | Lists company skills from `GET /api/companies/:companyId/skills`. Human rows include `id`, `key`, `slug`, `name`, `source`, `trust`, `compatibility`, and `attachedAgents`. | `CompanySkillListItem[]` |
+| `skills show <skill-ref>` | Resolves `id`, `key`, or unique `slug`, then reads detail. Ambiguous slugs are conflicts. | `CompanySkillDetail` |
+| `skills file <skill-ref> [--path <path>]` | Resolves the skill, reads a file with default `SKILL.md`, and prints raw file content in human mode. This command must remain pipeable. | `CompanySkillFileDetail` |
+| `skills import <source>` | Calls existing import API. Source may be a local path, GitHub URL, skills.sh URL or command, `owner/repo`, `owner/repo/skill`, or URL-like source already accepted by the server. | `CompanySkillImportResult` |
+| `skills create --name <name> [--slug <slug>] [--description <text>] [--body-file <path|->]` | Creates a managed local company skill. If `--body-file` is omitted, the server default body is used. `-` reads markdown from stdin. | `CompanySkill` |
+| `skills scan-projects [--project-id <id>...] [--workspace-id <id>...]` | Calls project scan. Repeated flags become arrays. With neither flag, scan all accessible project workspaces. | `CompanySkillProjectScanResult` |
+| `skills check [skill-ref]` | Reads update status for one skill, or for every listed company skill when no ref is provided. Unsupported statuses are shown, not hidden. | `CompanySkillCheckRow[]` |
+| `skills update <skill-ref>` | Installs the update for one skill through the existing install-update API. | `CompanySkillUpdateRow` |
+| `skills update --all` | Checks all skills, installs only those with `hasUpdate=true`, and reports skipped unsupported or current skills. | `CompanySkillUpdateRow[]` |
+| `skills remove <skill-ref> [--yes]` | Deletes one company skill after confirmation. | `CompanySkill` |
+
+`CompanySkillCheckRow` is a CLI-side shape:
+
+```ts
+interface CompanySkillCheckRow {
+  skill: Pick<CompanySkillListItem, "id" | "key" | "slug" | "name">;
+  status: CompanySkillUpdateStatus;
+}
+```
+
+`CompanySkillUpdateRow` is a CLI-side shape:
+
+```ts
+interface CompanySkillUpdateRow {
+  skillRef: string;
+  action: "updated" | "skipped" | "failed";
+  skill?: CompanySkill;
+  status?: CompanySkillUpdateStatus;
+  reason?: string;
+}
+```
+
+### Agent Skill Commands
+
+These commands are Phase B and use existing agent skill APIs.
+
+| Command | Behavior | JSON output |
+|---|---|---|
+| `skills agent list <agent-ref>` | Resolves the agent using existing agent reference behavior, then prints the adapter `AgentSkillSnapshot`. Human rows include `key`, `runtimeName`, `desired`, `managed`, `required`, `state`, `origin`, and `detail`. | `AgentSkillSnapshot` |
+| `skills agent sync <agent-ref> --skill <skill-ref>...` | Replaces the agent's non-required desired skill set with the supplied refs and triggers adapter sync. Required Paperclip skills remain enforced by the server. | `AgentSkillSnapshot` |
+| `skills agent clear <agent-ref> [--yes]` | Clears non-required desired skills by sending an empty desired list, then returns the adapter snapshot. | `AgentSkillSnapshot` |
+
+The word `sync` is deliberate: it is a desired-state replacement, not an append.
+An additive command can be added later if operators need it.
+
+### Catalog CLI Commands
+
+These commands are Phase E and depend on the catalog APIs from Phase D.
+
+| Command | Behavior | JSON output |
+|---|---|---|
+| `skills browse [--kind bundled|optional] [--category <slug>] [--query <text>]` | Lists app-shipped catalog skills. Human rows include `id`, `key`, `kind`, `category`, `slug`, `name`, `trust`, and `recommendedForRoles`. | `CatalogSkillListItem[]` |
+| `skills search <query> [--kind bundled|optional] [--category <slug>]` | Alias for catalog browse with `query`. | `CatalogSkillListItem[]` |
+| `skills inspect <catalog-ref>` | Shows app-shipped catalog detail and file inventory. Does not mutate company state. | `CatalogSkillDetail` |
+| `skills install <catalog-ref> [--as <slug>] [--force]` | Installs a catalog skill into a company library. `--as` overrides the company skill slug. `--force` may replace a same-key catalog skill but must not bypass hard validation or dangerous security findings. | `CompanySkillInstallCatalogResult` |
+
+Catalog commands are for the app-shipped Paperclip catalog only. External GitHub,
+skills.sh, local path, and URL installs remain under `skills import <source>` in
+the first release.
+
+## Catalog Package Contract
+
+Add a workspace package:
+
+```text
+packages/skills-catalog/
+  package.json
+  tsconfig.json
+  src/
+    index.ts
+    types.ts
+  catalog/
+    bundled/
+      <category>/
+        <slug>/
+          SKILL.md
+          references/
+          scripts/
+          assets/
+    optional/
+      <category>/
+        <slug>/
+          SKILL.md
+          references/
+          scripts/
+          assets/
+  generated/
+    catalog.json
+  scripts/
+    build-catalog-manifest.ts
+    validate-catalog.ts
+```
+
+Package name: `@paperclipai/skills-catalog`.
+
+The package exports:
+
+- `catalogManifest`
+- `catalogSkills`
+- `resolveCatalogSkillRef(ref)`
+- `getCatalogSkill(id)`
+- TypeScript types for every manifest shape
+
+Server and CLI code must import the generated manifest. They must not crawl
+arbitrary repository paths at request time.
+
+## Catalog Manifest
+
+The generated artifact is `packages/skills-catalog/generated/catalog.json`.
+It is checked in and regenerated by the package build or validation script.
+
+```ts
+interface CatalogManifest {
+  schemaVersion: 1;
+  packageName: "@paperclipai/skills-catalog";
+  packageVersion: string;
+  generatedAt: string;
+  skills: CatalogSkill[];
+}
+
+interface CatalogSkill {
+  id: string;
+  key: string;
+  kind: "bundled" | "optional";
+  category: string;
+  slug: string;
+  name: string;
+  description: string;
+  path: string;
+  entrypoint: "SKILL.md";
+  trustLevel: "markdown_only" | "assets" | "scripts_executables";
+  compatibility: "compatible" | "unknown" | "invalid";
+  defaultInstall: boolean;
+  recommendedForRoles: string[];
+  requires: string[];
+  tags: string[];
+  files: CatalogSkillFile[];
+  contentHash: string;
+}
+
+interface CatalogSkillFile {
+  path: string;
+  kind: "skill" | "markdown" | "reference" | "script" | "asset" | "other";
+  sizeBytes: number;
+  sha256: string;
+}
+```
+
+`id` is path-safe:
+
+```text
+paperclipai:<kind>:<category>:<slug>
+```
+
+`key` is the canonical company skill key installed into `company_skills`:
+
+```text
+paperclipai/<kind>/<category>/<slug>
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "paperclipai:bundled:software-development:github-pr-workflow",
+  "key": "paperclipai/bundled/software-development/github-pr-workflow",
+  "kind": "bundled",
+  "category": "software-development",
+  "slug": "github-pr-workflow",
+  "name": "github-pr-workflow",
+  "description": "Prepare pull requests, review responses, and verification notes.",
+  "path": "catalog/bundled/software-development/github-pr-workflow",
+  "entrypoint": "SKILL.md",
+  "trustLevel": "markdown_only",
+  "compatibility": "compatible",
+  "defaultInstall": false,
+  "recommendedForRoles": ["engineer"],
+  "requires": [],
+  "tags": ["github", "pull-requests"],
+  "files": [
+    {
+      "path": "SKILL.md",
+      "kind": "skill",
+      "sizeBytes": 1200,
+      "sha256": "..."
+    }
+  ],
+  "contentHash": "sha256:..."
+}
+```
+
+## Catalog Skill Frontmatter
+
+Each catalog `SKILL.md` must include:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: github-pr-workflow
+description: Prepare pull requests, review responses, and verification notes.
+key: paperclipai/bundled/software-development/github-pr-workflow
+recommendedForRoles:
+  - engineer
+tags:
+  - github
+  - pull-requests
+---
+```
+
+Optional frontmatter:
+
+- `slug`
+- `defaultInstall`
+- `requires`
+- `metadata`
+
+The manifest generator owns `kind`, `category`, `path`, `files`,
+`trustLevel`, `compatibility`, and `contentHash`.
+
+## Catalog Validation Rules
+
+Validation must fail when:
+
+- A catalog entry is not under `catalog/bundled/<category>/<slug>` or
+  `catalog/optional/<category>/<slug>`.
+- `SKILL.md` is missing.
+- `category` or `slug` is not a lowercase URL slug.
+- `name` or `description` frontmatter is missing or empty.
+- The frontmatter `key`, when present, does not equal the generated key.
+- Two catalog entries have the same `id`, `key`, or `slug`.
+- File inventory includes absolute paths, `..` segments, broken symlinks, or
+  files outside the skill directory.
+- A file exceeds the package-level size limit chosen by implementation.
+- A skill marked `compatible` cannot be parsed as Agent Skills markdown.
+- The generated manifest differs from the checked-in
+  `generated/catalog.json`.
+
+Trust level is derived from inventory:
+
+- `scripts_executables` when any file is classified as `script`.
+- `assets` when any file is classified as `asset` or `other` and no script is
+  present.
+- `markdown_only` when all files are markdown, references, or `SKILL.md`.
+
+Validation must report all discovered catalog errors when practical, not just
+the first one.
+
+## Catalog API Contract
+
+Phase D adds read APIs and one company install API.
+
+```text
+GET  /api/skills/catalog
+GET  /api/skills/catalog/:catalogId
+GET  /api/skills/catalog/:catalogId/files?path=SKILL.md
+POST /api/companies/:companyId/skills/install-catalog
+```
+
+`GET /api/skills/catalog` accepts:
+
+- `kind=bundled|optional`
+- `category=<slug>`
+- `q=<text>`
+
+`catalogId` is the path-safe manifest `id`. The server should also support
+resolution by `key` or unique `slug` where the ref is carried in a query or body,
+but route parameters use `id` to avoid slash handling ambiguity.
+
+Install request:
+
+```ts
+interface CompanySkillInstallCatalogRequest {
+  catalogSkillId: string;
+  slug?: string | null;
+  force?: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+Install result:
+
+```ts
+interface CompanySkillInstallCatalogResult {
+  action: "created" | "updated" | "unchanged";
+  skill: CompanySkill;
+  catalogSkill: CatalogSkill;
+  warnings: string[];
+}
+```
+
+Install behavior:
+
+- Creates or updates a company skill with `sourceType="catalog"`.
+- Uses catalog `key` as the company skill canonical key.
+- Uses catalog `slug` unless `slug` is provided.
+- Materializes the catalog files into a company-managed skill directory so
+  existing skill file reads continue to work.
+- Stores provenance in metadata:
+  - `catalogId`
+  - `catalogKey`
+  - `catalogKind`
+  - `catalogCategory`
+  - `catalogPath`
+  - `packageName`
+  - `packageVersion`
+  - `originHash`
+  - `originVersion`
+  - `userModifiedAt`
+  - `updateHoldReason`
+- Writes activity log entries for install and update.
+- Returns `409` for duplicate slug/key conflicts that cannot be resolved safely.
+- Returns `422` for invalid, incompatible, or hard-blocked catalog entries.
+- `force` may replace a same-key catalog-managed skill. It must not bypass
+  company boundaries, permission checks, hard validation, or hard security
+  findings.
+
+## Error Semantics
+
+Use existing HTTP semantics:
+
+- `400`: invalid CLI arguments, invalid query/body shape, or malformed refs.
+- `401`: missing or invalid auth.
+- `403`: authenticated principal lacks access or mutation permission.
+- `404`: skill, catalog entry, agent, file, company, or source not found.
+- `409`: ambiguous slug, duplicate key/slug, update conflict, or unsafe overwrite.
+- `422`: semantic violation such as invalid skill content or unsupported source.
+- `500`: unexpected server failure.
+
+CLI messages should name the next useful correction, for example:
+
+- `Skill slug "review" is ambiguous. Use an id or key.`
+- `Company ID is required. Pass --company-id, set PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID, or set a context profile.`
+- `Catalog skill contains executable scripts and cannot be force-installed until security review semantics allow it.`
+
+## Phase Acceptance Criteria
+
+Phase A is complete when this contract is available in the repo and the issue
+thread links it.
+
+Phase B, CLI MVP:
+
+- `paperclipai skills --help` exposes the Phase B command group.
+- All Phase B commands work against existing company skills and agent skills
+  APIs without schema or server changes.
+- Skill refs resolve by id, key, or unique slug.
+- Human and JSON output are covered by focused CLI tests.
+- `doc/CLI.md` documents company install vs agent desired sync vs runtime sync.
+
+Phase C, catalog package:
+
+- `packages/skills-catalog` is a workspace package.
+- Build or validation regenerates `generated/catalog.json`.
+- Validation covers frontmatter, id/key/slug uniqueness, directory shape, file
+  inventory, trust derivation, and stale generated output.
+- Server and CLI can import the manifest without crawling arbitrary paths.
+- Root `skills/` is not expanded with the app-shipped catalog.
+
+Phase D, catalog APIs:
+
+- Catalog list/detail/file APIs are read-only and covered by tests.
+- Install-from-catalog creates auditable company-scoped skill records with
+  provenance metadata and materialized files.
+- Company boundary and mutation permission checks match or exceed existing
+  company skill mutations.
+- Duplicate and unsafe overwrite behavior is explicit and tested.
+
+Phase E, catalog CLI:
+
+- Operators can browse, search, inspect, and install app-shipped catalog skills.
+- External source behavior remains routed through `skills import`.
+- Output and errors follow the Phase B CLI conventions.
+- Catalog install is clearly distinct from agent attach/sync in help and docs.
+
+Phase F, update/reset/audit:
+
+- Security review records decisions for origin hash, user modification detection,
+  reset, audit findings, and force behavior.
+- Implementation follows the review or records explicit deferrals.
+- Mutating reset/update actions are activity logged.
+- Tests cover dangerous findings, force behavior, and unchanged/current states.
+
+Phase G, adapter truth model:
+
+- Adapter snapshots accurately report `unsupported`, `persistent`, or
+  `ephemeral`.
+- Desired, missing, installed, stale, external, and required states are tested.
+- External adapter plugins remain dynamically loaded. No hardcoded plugin imports
+  are added.
+
+Phase H, UI:
+
+- The existing Company Skills page is extended rather than replaced.
+- UX guidance covers Company, Bundled, Optional, and External source views.
+- Install preview shows source, trust, provenance, update state, and file
+  inventory.
+- Agent attach/detach states are clear.
+- Frontend handoff includes screenshots or equivalent browser evidence.
+
+Phase I, initial skill content:
+
+- Bundled and optional entries use the finalized frontmatter and category rules.
+- Skill descriptions are specific enough for browse/search.
+- No script-bearing skill lands without explicit security review evidence.
+- Validation fixtures or tests cover representative content.
+
+Phase J, QA and docs:
+
+- QA validates CLI, catalog APIs, UI install, agent sync, portability, and adapter
+  snapshots against a dev instance.
+- Blocking defects are linked as first-class issues.
+- `doc/CLI.md`, `doc/DEVELOPING.md`, and skill workflow docs match shipped
+  behavior.
+
+## Deferrals
+
+- No cloud marketplace.
+- No user-home tap registry.
+- No hidden curator or autonomous catalog mutator.
+- No normalized `agent_skills` table in the first release.
+- No skill sets or bundles in the first release.
+- No automatic install of every optional catalog skill.
+- No replacement of company import/export as the portability path.

+The supported round-trip:
+
+- **Per-run, on the remote side.** `prepareWorkspaceForSshExecution` (in `packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh.ts`) git-bundles the local worktree and ships it to the run's remote dir. No `git remote` is set anywhere; the bundle is the transport.
+- **End-of-run, in the adapter's `finally` block.** The adapter invokes `restoreRemoteWorkspace` (e.g. claude-local's `execute.ts`), which calls `restoreWorkspaceFromSshExecution` → `exportGitWorkspaceFromSsh` → `integrateImportedGitHead`. Remote commits made during the run land back in the local Mac worktree with no `git push` and no remote configured.
+
+The invariant adapters must preserve:
+
+- **Never `git push`** from adapter or runtime code. Operator-supplied configuration may opt in, but the default contract is no remote operations.
+- **Never assume a remote exists.** The local cwd is the source of truth between runs.
+- **Surface restore failures.** A failed sync-back must propagate as a run-level error, not a silent warning. The heartbeat records a `workspace_finalize` row (`succeeded`/`failed`) around `adapter.execute` so dependent issues do not wake on a stale worktree.
+
+The invariant is pinned by the "no-remote-git contract" case in `packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh-fixture.test.ts`: it asserts `git remote` is empty before and after the round-trip and that a remote-only commit still lands locally via restore alone.

+## No-remote-git contract
+
+The local execution-workspace cwd is the only persistence boundary across
+runs. No adapter may depend on a git remote for cross-run state.
+
+Adapters that run the agent on a different host should use the SSH round-trip
+helpers in [`src/ssh.ts`](./src/ssh.ts):
+
+- `prepareWorkspaceForSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir })` — bundles
+  the local cwd (tracked files, dirty edits, untracked additions, and the git
+  history needed to reconstruct it) to `remoteDir` before the run starts. Runs
+  with no `git remote` configured.
+- `restoreWorkspaceFromSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir, ... })` —
+  syncs the remote cwd back into `localDir` after the run, including any new
+  commits the agent created. Also runs with no `git remote` configured.
+
+`prepareRemoteManagedRuntime` in
+[`src/remote-managed-runtime.ts`](./src/remote-managed-runtime.ts) wraps both
+calls for adapters that want a per-run remote workspace and an automatic
+`restoreWorkspace()` finally hook.
+
+The invariant is pinned by the `no-remote-git contract` case in
+[`src/ssh-fixture.test.ts`](./src/ssh-fixture.test.ts), which asserts that a
+remote-only commit propagates to the local worktree through the
+prepare → restore round-trip with no git remote configured at any point. Do
+not regress that test.

+# Adapter Authoring Notes
+
+In-repo notes for adapter authors. The user-facing guide lives at
+[`docs/adapters/creating-an-adapter.md`](../../docs/adapters/creating-an-adapter.md);
+this file holds invariants that are easy to violate from inside the adapter
+package itself.
+
+## No-remote-git contract (cross-run persistence)
+
+The local execution-workspace cwd is the only persistence boundary across
+runs. No adapter may depend on a git remote for cross-run state.
+
+Why: Paperclip resolves a local execution workspace (a worktree) for each
+heartbeat. Code state is carried forward by syncing that local cwd to wherever
+the agent actually runs — over ssh, into a sandbox, into a managed runtime —
+and then syncing changes back when the run finishes. Treating a `git remote`
+as the source of truth (`git push` from inside the agent, fetch on the next
+wake) breaks dependent issues that are gated on the local worktree being
+caught up, and breaks isolated execution workspaces that have no remote
+configured at all.
+
+How to apply:
+
+- Never `git push` from adapter runtime code. Never assume the local worktree
+  has any `git remote` configured. If you need data from the previous run,
+  read it from the local cwd Paperclip handed you.
+- If your adapter runs the agent on a different host (ssh, sandbox, remote
+  container), use the round-trip helpers in `@paperclipai/adapter-utils`:
+  [`prepareWorkspaceForSshExecution`](../adapter-utils/src/ssh.ts) bundles the
+  local cwd to the remote dir before the run, and
+  [`restoreWorkspaceFromSshExecution`](../adapter-utils/src/ssh.ts) syncs
+  remote-side changes (including new git commits) back into the local cwd
+  after the run. Both run with no `git remote` configured.
+- If your adapter runs the agent locally, you can read and write the cwd
+  directly — same invariant applies: changes that future runs need must live
+  in the local cwd by the time `execute()` returns.
+- A failed sync-back is a run-level error. The heartbeat records
+  `workspace_finalize=failed` on the execution workspace, which gates
+  dependent issue wakes until the next successful finalize. Do not swallow
+  restore errors.
+
+The invariant is pinned by the `no-remote-git contract` case in
+[`packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh-fixture.test.ts`](../adapter-utils/src/ssh-fixture.test.ts),
+which asserts that a remote-only commit propagates to the local worktree
+through `prepareWorkspaceForSshExecution` → `restoreWorkspaceFromSshExecution`
+with no git remote configured at any point.
+
+A static check enforces the rule before runtime ever sees it:
+[`scripts/check-no-git-push.mjs`](../../scripts/check-no-git-push.mjs) scans
+adapter and runtime source (`packages/adapters/`, `packages/adapter-utils/`,
+`server/src/`, `cli/src/`) and fails the `policy` CI job if any unapproved
+`git push` invocation is added. If you are building an operator-configured
+path that legitimately must push, add a
+`// paperclip:allow-git-push: <reason>` comment on the line (or the line
+above) so the opt-in shows up in code review.
+
+For the architecture-level write-up of cross-run persistence, see
+[`docs/guides/board-operator/execution-workspaces-and-runtime-services.md`](../../docs/guides/board-operator/execution-workspaces-and-runtime-services.md#cross-run-persistence-no-remote-git-contract).

+Like every Paperclip adapter, this one must treat the local execution-workspace
+cwd as the only persistence boundary across runs — no `git push` from runtime
+code, no assuming a `git remote` exists. The gateway transport here doesn't
+touch the workspace directly, but if you extend the adapter to ship code to
+the OpenClaw side, use the round-trip helpers in `@paperclipai/adapter-utils`
+(`prepareWorkspaceForSshExecution` → `restoreWorkspaceFromSshExecution`)

@@ -0,0 +1,20 @@
+# v2026.529.0
+
+> Released: 2026-05-29
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **Inline document annotations and comments** - Issue documents now support inline, revision-aware annotation threads with comments and stable anchor snapshots, so agents and operators can discuss a specific passage instead of leaving detached issue comments or editing the whole document. ([#6733](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6733), @cryppadotta)
+- **Company skills CLI and catalog management** - Skills are now first-class: install, reset, audit, export, and assign company skills with a new CLI and a board UI, backed by a packaged skills catalog and a clear provenance model across bundled, catalog, runtime, and adapter-provided skills. ([#6782](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6782), @cryppadotta)
+- **Hide projects and agents from your sidebar** - User-scoped resource membership lets each user leave projects and agents they don't want cluttering their sidebar while keeping every resource accessible, backed by company-scoped membership APIs and a cleaner, easier-to-scan project list. ([#6677](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6677), @cryppadotta)
+- **First-admin claim flow for fresh self-hosted deployments** - Private, unclaimed deployments (such as Umbrel installs on a LAN) now get a one-time browser claim so operators can create the first admin before any invite exists, while public deployments and installs with active invites keep the existing invite-only model. ([#6755](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6755), @cryppadotta)
+- **Live Claude model discovery** - The Claude Local adapter can now refresh its Anthropic model catalog from the UI, so newly released Claude models show up without waiting for a code release — with the static fallback list kept current as a safety net. ([#6953](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6953), @cryppadotta)
+
+## Improvements
+
+- **Bundled plugins now appear in the plugin manager** - Instance Settings → plugin manager lists built-in bundled plugins alongside installed external plugins, so the full set of available plugins is visible in one place. ([#6734](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6734), @cryppadotta)
+- **Tighter workspace lifecycle guarantees** - Workspace finalize gates and no-remote-git enforcement close holes in the worktree contract — no more silent env reuse across assignees, dependent issue wakes no longer fire before finalize lands, and `issue.interaction.accept` waits for finalize — so dependent issues reliably see a consistent worktree. ([#6969](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6969), @devinfoley)
+
+## Fixes
+
+- **Accepted plans decompose exactly once** - Accepted plan revisions are now guarded so they can't be decomposed more than once across overlapping runs, fixing the duplicate-subtask fan-out that could occur when agents woke from review decisions and reused isolated workspaces, plus clearer plan-decomposition UI state. ([#6831](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6831), @devinfoley)
