## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - External agents need a connection, a work lifecycle, and clear authority. > - The Dot integration exposed gaps in setup, idle work, recovery, and Cloud delivery. > - Future integrations need a practical procedure that preserves those lessons. > - This pull request adds a core skill and six focused reference documents. > - The skill gives contributors concrete prompts, test cases, and failure diagnostics. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **Issue type** Missing documentation. **Where is the issue?** Repository contributor skills for external agent integration. **What's wrong?** The integration process has no single reusable guide for provider discovery, both work directions, setup, managed Runner execution, and live proof. Lessons from Dot are spread across implementation changes. **Suggested fix** Add `create-external-bot-integration` under `.agents/skills`. Keep the core workflow short. Put detailed contracts, examples, tests, diagnostics, and dated evidence in references. Related public implementation: Refs #15402, #15414, #15581, #15691, #15722, #15734. A search found no duplicate skill PR. ## What Changed - Add a core skill for external agents and its Codex interface metadata. - Add references for the release contract, Runner architecture, onboarding, qualification tests, deployment, and the Dot case study. - Include idle intake, native tool use, scoped authority, receipt recovery, and resource cleanup. - Mark provider facts and code paths as dated evidence. Use public PRs for the source trail. - Change only eight files under `.agents/skills/create-external-bot-integration`. ## Verification - Skill validator: passed. - Interface metadata, Markdown fences, and 49 local links and anchors: passed. - `git diff --check`: passed. - PR file scope: verified that all eight paths are inside the skill folder. - `pnpm build` and `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed in the isolated worktree. - `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/skills-catalog packages/skills-catalog/src/shipped-catalog.test.ts`: 10 tests passed after the description-budget fix. - The broad local `pnpm test:run` attempt reported 12 native-session lease test failures. It is not a passing full-suite result. One isolated lease case passed. The PR changes no runtime files. - Final commit `bd7aed82f623ee279c800af2b8b87f7bedd6be5c`: all GitHub checks completed, with 55 success results and 2 skipped results. - Greptile reviewed that exact commit at 5/5. There are no open review threads. ## Risks - Provider behavior and code paths can change. The skill requires current code and official documentation checks before use. - The case study describes one integration campaign. It does not claim that every provider supports the same transport or capabilities. - This change adds contributor instructions and metadata. It changes no application code or database schema. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, filesystem access, shell tools, and code review support. The exact serving endpoint ID and context window size are not exposed in this session. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
