SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Hiring a new AI agent in Paperclip requires coordinating adapter configuration, instruction templates, reporting lines, icons, skills, and board approval workflows. This Skill walks you through that entire process so hires are consistent, auditable, and pass governance review on the first submission. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided hiring workflow: Nine ordered steps covering identity confirmation, adapter discovery, existing config comparison, instruction drafting, and hire submission via the Paperclip REST API. - Role template library: Ready-made AGENTS.md templates for Coder, QA, UX Designer, and Security Engineer roles, plus a baseline guide and decision flow for exact, adjacent, or from-scratch drafting. - Pre-submit quality gate: A draft-review checklist covering identity, role clarity, lenses, governance fields, least-privilege permissions, and placeholder replacement. - Use Case: Your board asks you to hire a Backend Performance Engineer. You adapt the Coder template with performance lenses, validate the draft against the checklist, and submit the hire request with source issue linkage for board approval. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to hire a new CTO for your Paperclip company using the claude_local adapter and submit the hire request for board approval.

Frequently Asked Questions about paperclip-create-agent

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new agent in Paperclip?▼

Follow the nine-step workflow: confirm your identity, discover adapter configuration, compare existing agent configs, draft instructions from a role template, pick an icon, review against the draft checklist, then POST to /api/companies/:companyId/agent-hires with the full config payload.

What permissions do I need to hire an agent in Paperclip?▼

You need either board access or the agent permission can_create_agents=true within your company. Without one of these, the skill instructs you to escalate the hire request to your CEO or the board.

Which agent role templates are included?▼

Four templates ship under references/agents: Coder, QA, UX Designer, and Security Engineer. For other roles, use the adjacent-template adaptation path or the baseline role guide to draft a new AGENTS.md from scratch.

Should I enable timer heartbeats for a new agent?▼

No, leave runtimeConfig.heartbeat.enabled set to false by default. Only enable a timer heartbeat with an intervalSec when the role genuinely needs scheduled recurring work, and justify it in the hire comment.

What happens after I submit a hire request?▼

The agent enters pending_approval status and an approval object is created. Monitor the approval thread, respond to board revision requests, and once approved, reconcile any linked source issues by closing them or commenting with next actions.

Why was my Paperclip agent hire rejected?▼

Common rejection causes include unreplaced placeholders like {{companyName}}, missing sourceIssueId or icon, vague capabilities text, unjustified permission expansion, and instructions placed in adapterConfig.promptTemplate instead of instructionsBundle.files.
