## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Contributors use the feature map to understand and verify product capabilities. > - Agents need APIs and usable entry points within their permission boundaries. > - Product recipes and agent access need separate records with shared capability IDs. > - This pull request establishes that contract and gives maintenance ownership of both maps. > - The benefit is repeatable access review without changing product behavior or permissions. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs: #15983, which added the portable verification skills and updated the feature map. This is its contract-only follow-up. Related: #15288 added the original feature map. **Issue type** Missing documentation and maintenance contract. **Where is the issue?** The product map, its missing agent access companions, and the verification skills. **What's wrong?** There is no shared convention for API presence, agent entry points, permission boundaries, access gaps, or evidence. An API declaration does not prove that a permitted native or remote agent can use it. **Suggested fix** Keep the product and agent access maps as siblings under `maps/`. Reuse capability IDs. Record representative source inventory separately from operation review and live proof. Keep both maps aligned through the maintenance skill. ## What Changed - Move the existing product map to `maps/feature-map/`. Preserve its recipes and Poteto format. Update relative links and add companion links. - Add `maps/agent-access-map/` with 35 area files and 171 matching capability IDs. Seed representative API operations, agent paths, policies and known gaps from the reviewed source inventory. Mark entries as `baseline`, `source-only`, and live verification `not-run`. - Define the shared contract in `maps/README.md`. Track API presence, agent availability, policy, evidence and review depth separately. Require operation enumeration before marking a broad capability operation-reviewed. - Extend `maintain-verification-skill` to reconcile both maps and inspect actual route policy and production tool admission. Update creation, verification, notices and contributor references to use the shared contract. - Add `scripts/check-maps.mjs` and ten regression tests. Check matching areas/IDs, indexes, references, contract fields, API method/path examples, justified exceptions and evidence-state consistency. - Keep the coverage inventory unchanged. Preserve skill invocation policies and both MIT license blocks. No product API, permission, UI, runtime helper, migration, dependency or workflow changes. ## Verification - Passed: `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` reports 35 paired areas and 171 matching capability IDs. All local map references resolve. - Passed: `node --test scripts/check-maps.test.mjs` runs ten tests. Fixtures cover missing companions, renamed/orphan/duplicate IDs, broken references, missing operation fields, empty exceptions, missing API examples, empty policy fields, and verified evidence without passed verification. - Passed: metadata validation for all three verification skills. Skill and contributor links resolve. Invocation policies and both license blocks are unchanged. - Compared relocated recipes with current master. Contents differ only in relative links and companion links. `coverage.json` is byte-for-byte unchanged. Master's updated read-only interaction test reference is retained. - Passed: `git diff --check`. The branch starts from current master and contains only this contract change. - Repository-wide typecheck, tests and build were not run locally for this documentation and Node structural-check scope. Live agent access was not exercised. Those gaps are explicit in the baseline entries; the structural check does not certify behavior. CI and automated review are pending. ## Risks - The companions are representative source baselines. They are not complete operation inventories or passed agent journeys. - The checker cannot establish actual permissions, native tool admission, operation completeness or truthful live evidence. Maintenance must inspect source and verify with the actual permitted agent context. - External links to the old product-map directory may need updates. Repository references have been updated. - Existing access gaps and board/user restrictions remain recorded. This contract does not change authority or implement missing paths. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted with this change. The session does not expose the exact serving model ID, configured context-window size, or reasoning setting. Capabilities used: source analysis, file edits, shell commands, and structural regression tests. ## 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 - [ ] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [ ] 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>

Documents, attachments, and work products
People read and revise task documents, annotate specific content, open attached files, and inspect the outputs an agent hands back. The artifact library provides another route to the same work.
Implementation: task documents, artifact library, document panel.
Agent access: companion.
Sub-features
documents: edit versioned task documents and inspect or restore revisions.annotations: attach feedback to document content and inspect resolution state.attachments: upload, preview, and download allowed files with company access checks.work-products: link deliverables to their source task, resource, and review context.library: search, filter, group, and open artifact stacks.
How to get to it (user POV)
task-document
Open a document from the task thread or document side panel.
task-output
Open an attachment, output card, or file link from a task. For direct uploads, use the task side panel's Open a new tab → Artifacts → Upload files or drop files anywhere in that panel. On mobile, open More actions → Properties first. Agent conversations do not expose this upload path.
artifact-library
Open /artifacts and its grouping, search, and media controls.
Driving it with Playwright and the Paperclip CLI
Preconditions: follow the baseline. Use a task with a text document, a small attachment, and a generated work product. Use nonsensitive fixture files.
task-document
Automated: documents service, annotations, and revision restore cover server contracts.
Manual: Edit a paragraph, save, reload, and compare revisions. Add an annotation to a specific selection and inspect it after another edit. Resolve it through the supported action. Restore a disposable revision and confirm the new current document and history agree.
task-output
Automated: attachment routes and work products cover data/access behavior; artifact arrival browser suite targets arrival. Artifact uploads drives file selection/drop, filename collisions, retry, and preservation of paused/unassigned tasks.
Manual: Upload a small Markdown file and CSV through Artifacts. Markdown becomes a versioned task document; other files become attachments. Read the document, download the CSV and compare bytes, then reload. Upload the same Markdown filename again and verify a separate suffixed document without overwriting the original. On a paused unassigned task, confirm upload does not start work or add comments. Verify agent-produced work products separately using an eligible test run. Test an inaccessible user/company and explicit missing workspace-only resources.
artifact-library
Automated: artifact page covers grouping, search requests, and pagination using mocks.
Manual: Find the task’s output through search and grouping, open its stack, page through results, and reload a direct stack link. Confirm the same file/content appears as from the task.
Gotchas
- A local path is not automatically an uploaded artifact accessible to another user.
- A preview screenshot is not proof that download bytes or revision references are correct.
- Version conflicts and stale annotations must stay visible rather than silently targeting different content.
