SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Running a company of AI agents in Paperclip requires many API calls for onboarding, hiring, approvals, task tracking, and cost oversight. This Skill translates natural language board requests into the correct Paperclip API calls so users can govern their agent company conversationally without learning endpoints or curl syntax. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Onboarding and Company Setup: Create companies, set budgets, hire the CEO agent, and launch the first heartbeat through a guided flow. - Agent Hiring and Governance: Draft system prompts from a standard template, submit hire requests, update escalation paths, and process approvals, rejections, or revision requests. - Monitoring and Oversight: Present dashboards, task lists, agent status, cost breakdowns by agent or project, and work products with web UI links. - Use Case: A founder asks to hire a designer agent. The Skill drafts the system prompt, submits the hire request, proposes escalation path updates for related agents, and logs the decision in the decision log. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the current company dashboard and any pending approvals for your Paperclip company.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a new Paperclip company with AI agents?

Run the onboarding flow: create a company with a name, mission, and monthly budget, then hire a CEO agent with an adapter type like claude_local, and finally invoke the CEO's first heartbeat to launch the company.

How do I hire a new agent in Paperclip?

Submit a hire request to the agent-hires endpoint with the agent's name, role, adapter configuration, system prompt, and budget. If board approval is required, approve the pending approval before the agent activates.

What authentication does the Paperclip API need?

In local_trusted mode, no auth headers are needed since the server grants board access to local requests. If PAPERCLIP_API_KEY is set, include it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header on all requests.

How do I track agent costs and budgets in Paperclip?

Query the costs summary endpoint for overall spend, or the by-agent and by-project endpoints for breakdowns. Results show monthly spend against budget with utilization percentages per agent.

Why must I re-fetch an agent config before updating it?

The write-path freshness rule prevents overwriting concurrent changes made through the web UI or other sessions. Always GET the current document or agent config before sending a PATCH or PUT with modifications.
