# Paperclip Create Agent Skill
Use this skill when you are asked to hire/create an agent.
## Preconditions
Paperclip must already be installed and running. If the server is not up or `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` is unreachable, read `skills/paperclip/references/setup-installation.md` first.
You need either:
- board access, or
- agent permission `can_create_agents=true` in your company
If you do not have this permission, escalate to your CEO or board.
## Workflow
### 1. Confirm identity and company context
```sh
curl -sS "$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/api/agents/me" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY"
```
### 2. Discover adapter configuration for this Paperclip instance
```sh
curl -sS "$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/llms/agent-configuration.txt" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY"
# Then the specific adapter you plan to use, e.g. claude_local:
curl -sS "$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/llms/agent-configuration/claude_local.txt" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY"
```
### 3. Compare existing agent configurations
```sh
curl -sS "$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/api/companies/$PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID/agent-configurations" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY"
```
Note naming, icon, reporting-line, and adapter conventions the company already follows.
### 4. Choose the instruction source (required)
This is the single most important decision for hire quality. Pick exactly one path:
- **Exact template** — the role matches an entry in the template index. Use the matching file
