## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - New users meet Paperclip through the onboarding chat with their
first agent, and through task briefs that agents write
> - A browser walk of onboarding found internal handles and
control-plane jargon in those user-facing surfaces
> - A tool row showed `Read taskId: e3ecf9bc-…`, an agent-written brief
cited `task … (id 2b330993-…)`, and a Codex agent told a new user about
"receipts", "execution policy", and a "rejected policy patch"
> - Raw UUIDs and mechanism narration make the product look broken and
give the user nothing to act on
> - This pull request makes tool rows name a task by its identifier, and
tells agents to reference identifiers and to describe outcomes, not
mechanics
> - The benefit is that a new user sees "Read <task identifier>" and
plain progress updates
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
In the task chat, a collapsed tool row rendered the raw call argument
`taskId: <uuid>`. An agent-written task description included a raw task
UUID next to the task identifier. A Codex chief of staff narrated
internal mechanics (receipts, execution policies, a rejected policy
patch) to a new user in chat.
**Expected behavior**
Tool rows name the task by its identifier. Agent-written text links
tasks and documents by identifier. Agents tell the user what happened,
what it means, and the next step.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run onboarding with the Codex API runner and accept a single-task
proposal.
2. Watch the handoff in the chief-of-staff chat.
3. See the task lookup tool row and the narration. With the Claude API
runner and the plan path, open a child task created from the plan and
read its description.
## What Changed
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/transcript-adapter.ts`: a tool row's
target never contains a UUID argument. A `taskId`/`issueId` UUID is kept
as `taskRefId` on the tool item.
- New `ui/src/components/task-chat/task-reference.ts`:
`useTaskReferenceLabel` reads the task from the shared issue detail
query cache and returns its identifier. It returns "task" until the task
resolves or when it cannot.
- `TaskChatRunnerActivityGroup` and `TaskChatToolCard` show that
identifier as the row subject. They load the task only for rows that
have a task reference.
- `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md` (Comment Style): two new required rules.
"No raw IDs in prose" and "Describe outcomes, not mechanics".
- First-task onboarding skill: a "Talk in outcomes" rule. Non-inline
handoff inputs use an identifier link, not a raw UUID.
- Chief-of-staff persona (`AGENTS.md` for the first agent): the same
plain-language rule, so it applies in every chat.
- `skills/paperclip-converting-plans-to-tasks/SKILL.md`: task
descriptions reference other tasks and documents by identifier link,
never by raw UUID.
- No change to `skills-releases/` snapshots. They are frozen releases.
## Verification
Red on master (fix files reverted, new tests kept):
```
ui tool-row-task-reference.test.tsx
FAIL ... > falls back to a plain word while the task cannot be resolved
AssertionError: expected 'ReadtaskId: e3ecf9bc-099a-4b10-8169-9…' not to contain 'e3ecf9bc-099a-4b10-8169-9ce490a91e3d'
Tests 3 failed (3)
server user-facing-wording-guidance.test.ts
Tests 6 failed (6)
```
Green with the fix:
```
ui tool-row-task-reference.test.tsx Tests 3 passed (3)
server user-facing-wording-guidance.test.ts Tests 6 passed (6)
```
Neighbouring suites:
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/task-chat
src/components/TaskChatThread src/components/transcript`: 70 files, 1448
passed, 1 skipped.
- From the repo root: `onboarding-first-task-assets`,
`paperclip-skill-utils`, `onboarding-first-task-admission`,
`hiring-operational-examples`, `cli-invocation-safety`, and the new
guidance test all pass.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: all gates clean. The change adds no styles.
- `ui` typecheck: no errors in the changed files.
- Not run locally: `agent-skills-routes.test.ts` hit a 30 s `beforeAll`
import timeout on a cold cache. CI covers it.
## Risks
- Low risk. A row that names a task loads that task once through the
shared issue detail cache. The thread usually has it cached already. A
failed load shows "task" and does not retry.
- Rows now show other non-UUID arguments after the identifier (for
example `<identifier> · status: done`). Rows without a task reference do
not change.
- The skill text changes the guidance that agents read. They do not
change permissions, tools, or API behavior.
