Why we included this project

Paperthin doesn't sit on top of your coding agent as another assistant. It installs a pack of small skills into the agent you already run, whether that's Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or something else, and the model calls them on its own when the task calls for it. Each skill is a focused markdown rule that encodes a classic engineering habit: clean single-purpose code, honest quality gates, documentation that stays current. That way your model applies the same standard without a human restating the instruction on every task. The two-by-two map included in the repo is a helpful frame for deciding when one clean artifact matters more than consistency across many files, which translates directly into how you shape your own review workflow. Small teams tired of their coding agent cutting corners will find this a lightweight way to keep discipline in the loop.
