## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - The board UI wraps every page in an `EditorAutocompleteProvider` that supplies slash commands to Markdown editors > - The provider read the full company skills and routines lists as soon as a company was selected, on every page > - The Mine inbox has no editor, but it still paid for both reads: 259–284 KB for skills and 225–333 KB for routines on our dev and staging instances, with skills taking 8.5–13.7 s on a saturated staging server > - Those reads compete with the inbox rows for the same server > - This pull request starts the two reads only when the first Markdown editor mounts > - The benefit is two fewer large reads on every page without an editor, and no change for pages that have one ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What existing behavior does this improve?** The requests that every board UI page sends on load. **Subsystem affected** Board UI context (`ui/src/context/EditorAutocompleteContext.tsx`). **Current behavior** A cold load of `/:prefix/issues?view=mine` sends `GET /companies/:id/skills` and `GET /companies/:id/routines` although nothing on the page renders them. **Proposed behavior** The provider keeps both queries disabled until a component calls `useEditorAutocomplete()`. `MarkdownEditor` is the only caller, so the reads start when an editor mounts: a task composer, the new-task dialog when it opens, a comment box. **Reason and benefit** Each page without an editor saves two large reads. Pages with an editor read the same data at mount, before a user can type `/`. ## What Changed - `EditorAutocompleteProvider` holds a `requested` flag. Both queries are `enabled` only after it is set. - `useEditorAutocomplete()` sets the flag in an effect on first use. The flag stays set, so the lists stay current through the existing live-update invalidations for skills and routines. - New unit test `EditorAutocompleteContext.test.tsx`: no reads without an editor; one read of each list when two editors mount. - New browser check `tests/perf/collections/shell-editor-reads.spec.ts`: a Mine load sends no `skills` or `routines` request. ## Verification - `pnpm verify` passes. - `ui`: `npx vitest run src/context/EditorAutocompleteContext.test.tsx src/components/task-chat/TaskChatComposer.test.tsx` passes. - Browser check against a disposable local instance: `PAPERCLIP_COLLECTION_PERF_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:<port> pnpm exec playwright test --config tests/perf/collections/playwright.config.ts shell-editor-reads.spec.ts`. It passes on this branch and fails on `master`. - Manual: on a local instance the Mine load dropped from 34 to 32 API requests. Opening a task shows the composer; `/` lists skills and routines as before. ## Risks - Low risk. On the first editor mount the slash menu is empty until the two reads return. On `master` the same reads ran at app start, so a user who typed `/` within the first moments of a page with an editor saw the same gap. - `attention/summary` is not changed. The navigation's "Needs you" count renders it on the Mine page. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with tool use (shell, file edits, browser). 1M-token context window.

Typical use
Install the package, then serve or copy the built files from node_modules/@paperclipai/ui/dist.
Editor dependency identity
Keep the root and workspace overrides for @codemirror/state,
@codemirror/view, and @lezer/common aligned. CodeMirror requires shared
extension identity, while Lezer parsers and syntax highlighters require shared
NodeProp IDs. Multiple Lezer copies can crash code-block highlighting with
tags is not iterable. src/lib/codemirror-single-instance.test.ts checks the
installed dependency graph and highlights sample code through the editor's real
language dependencies. GitHub Actions owns regeneration of pnpm-lock.yaml.
