Claude

Claude Code loads skills from ~/.claude/skills/ (all projects) or .claude/skills/ (one project):

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip.git
cp -r paperclip/packages/skills-catalog/catalog/bundled/docs/doc-maintenance ~/.claude/skills/doc-maintenance   # personal, or .claude/skills in a project

In the Claude apps, zip the doc-maintenance folder and upload it under Customize > Skills > + > Upload a skill (code execution must be on).

ChatGPT / Codex

Codex reads skills from .agents/skills/ in a repo or ~/.agents/skills/ for every project:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip.git
cp -r paperclip/packages/skills-catalog/catalog/bundled/docs/doc-maintenance .agents/skills/doc-maintenance   # repo; ~/.agents/skills for all projects

Standalone skills also load in the ChatGPT desktop app.

What this skill does

Keep project docs aligned with recent code and feature changes — detect drift, update affected pages, and add release-relevant notes without rewriting unchanged sections. Keep the documentation honest with minimum churn. The goal is alignment between docs and behavior, not stylistic rewrites or cosmetic re-organization. Reviewers should be able to read a diff and see "this updates docs to match recent behavior changes".
