## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Status cards let the board watch a slice of company work with a
prose prompt
> - A new card starts a compile task. The summarizer agent compiles the
prompt into search queries and writes the first summary.
> - The compile task told the agent to use the bundled
`status-card-query` skill. Nothing gives that skill to the built-in
Summarizer or to a per-card override agent.
> - The agent saw no assigned skills, got `runner_skill_not_assigned`,
and then searched the filesystem until the run deadline. It never wrote
the card query.
> - This pull request puts the query guidance directly in the compile
task, so the task names only things the run has.
> - The benefit is that any summarizer agent, on any model, can compile
and save the card query without a missing dependency.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Creating a status card with a summarizer on a smaller model (for example
an OpenCode agent on a DeepSeek flash model) never finished. The compile
run reported no assigned skills, then spent its full budget looking for
`status-card-query`. No `PUT /api/status-cards/{id}/query` request was
sent, and the run hit its deadline. Stronger models sometimes worked
around the gap.
**Expected behavior**
The compile task contains everything the run needs. The agent writes the
query, reads the compiled scope, and writes the first summary.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Enable status cards and configure a summarizer agent that does not
have the `status-card-query` skill (the default Summarizer only installs
`summarize-status`).
2. Create a status card.
3. Watch the compile run: it looks for the skill and does not write the
query.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/status-cards.ts`: the compile task no longer says
"Use the bundled `status-card-query` skill". It now inlines the query
format (fields, allowed status and priority values from shared
constants, limits), the project and label lookup endpoints, an example
query body, and an explicit `GET /api/status-cards/{id}/dry-run` step
before the summary write.
- The example body uses a `text` fence, so the existing parser still
reads the `json` generation payload.
- New `server/src/__tests__/status-card-compile-prompt.test.ts`: asserts
that the compile task names no skill, contains the full query format and
write-back sequence, has an example that passes
`companySearchQuerySchema`, and keeps a parseable generation payload.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/status-card-compile-prompt.test.ts
src/__tests__/status-cards.test.ts
src/__tests__/status-card-evaluation-work.test.ts`: 3 files, 74 tests
pass.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server`: no errors in the changed files.
- `pnpm verify` selected 2224 test files. Most failed in this fresh
worktree because `@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` was not built yet (`Failed to
resolve entry for package "@paperclipai/plugin-sdk"`). After a build of
that package, the status-card files above pass. Required CI supplies the
broad coverage.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change is prompt text only. The write-back routes,
validators, and authorization do not change.
- The compile prompt is longer. The added text is a small, bounded
block.
- The `status-card-query` catalog skill still exists for agents that
author cards. The two texts can drift. The new test pins the prompt
contract.
