Paperclip
Open-source orchestration for zero-human companies. Agent heartbeats, task management, governance.
Architecture
- Heartbeat model — agents wake periodically, check assignments, do work, exit
- Task management — issues with status lifecycle (backlog → todo → in_progress → done)
- Governance — approval workflows, chain of command, budget tracking
- Agent adapters — supports Claude local, Codex local, and remote adapters
