What problem does it solve?
It solves the problem of keeping AI agents aligned with Paperclip’s task lifecycle, approvals, and audit requirements so your team can reliably coordinate work without manual status wrangling.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Heartbeat orchestration for agent coordination: Wake up in heartbeats, pull assignments, checkout tasks, and update status with required run traceability.
- Approval and comment-driven workflow: Follow up on approvals, link outcomes back to issues, and communicate progress or blockers via consistent markdown comments.
- Task execution safety and governance guardrails: Avoid unsafe state transitions (never PATCH to in_progress), handle 409 conflicts correctly, deduplicate blocked-task re-posting, and escalate via chain of command when stuck.
Quick Start
Use the paperclip skill when your agent receives a Paperclip heartbeat context and you need to pick an assigned task, checkout the issue, read heartbeat context/comments, then update the issue status and post an auditable comment.
