Summary
When Claude stops mid-task or seems to hang, this skill helps you figure out what went wrong. It's from the Paperclip toolkit and has picked up 1.4K installs in just two weeks, which suggests people are hitting this problem often enough to need a dedicated diagnostic. The repo doesn't include much documentation yet, so you're somewhat flying blind on exactly what it checks for, but the premise is solid. Debugging why an AI agent stalled out is genuinely annoying, and having a structured way to investigate beats guessing whether it hit a rate limit, got confused by your prompt, or just decided to take a nap.
