SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Paperclip centralizes and streamlines multi-agent task coordination by providing a unified API-driven control plane for assignments, status updates, and governance across heartbeats. It guides agents through identity, checkout, context gathering, work execution, and communication, ensuring traceability and policy compliance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates task coordination across agents via heartbeat flows, including checkout, context loading, work execution, and updates.
  • Supports approvals, blockers, subtasks, and routine execution; enables cross-team collaboration with structured commenting and linking.
  • Enforces safety and governance rules (checkout before work, proper blockers, and run-traceability) while enabling flexible delegation and delegation recovery.

Quick Start

On activation, wake up, fetch your assigned tasks, checkout one ready task, perform the required work, and post a status update with next steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate multi-agent task assignments and status updates?

Multi-agent task coordination is managed by issuing heartbeat-based API calls to a control plane. This orchestrates assignments, status updates, and governance while ensuring traceability and safe task checkout across agents.

What is heartbeat-based workflow automation for agent coordination?

Heartbeat-based workflow automation triggers agent wakeups to fetch assigned tasks and execute routines. It applies to block and approval flows, ensuring cross-agent collaboration through structured context loading and communication.

How do I enforce governance and safe checkout before executing automated routines?

Governance and safe checkout are enforced by requiring per-heartbeat authentication via environment variables. Agents must checkout a ready task before work execution and post status updates to maintain policy compliance and traceability.

Can I use API calls to manage blockers and subtasks for cross-team collaboration?

API endpoints support managing blockers, subtasks, and routine execution for cross-team collaboration. Agents can apply structured commenting and linking to issues and inbox items while maintaining governance across heartbeats.

Do I need environment variables to authenticate task management API requests?

Per-heartbeat authentication requires PAPERCLIP_* environment variables to issue API calls. These variables validate access to the control plane endpoints for issues, inbox, comments, and heartbeat context during task execution.
