paperasse ("paperwork" in French) turns accountants, notaries, tax inspectors, and statutory auditors into Claude Agent Skills. 1,788 stars, 868 stars/week, 72 commits.
What It Did
Each directory contains structured system prompts, reference data, and workflow templates. Drop them in .claude/skills/ and they work.
Why It Matters
paperasse demonstrates a methodology for building vertical domain agents:
- Role-based — Not one "universal assistant" but many specialized roles
- Data-driven — Each Skill has its own reference data
- Regulation tracking — Dedicated commits for regulation changes
This model applies to any regulated industry.
My Take
paperasse proves a counterintuitive point: the most unsexy domains are often the best for agents. French bureaucracy isn't glamorous, but complex rules + low tolerance for error = high agent value.
