AI Agents

AI Agents

AI-powered agent orchestration using Paperclip for task management and Claude Code for execution.

Systems

• Paperclip — agent task management and orchestration platform
• ai-dev — AI development environment and tooling
• Claude Code — AI coding agent (Anthropic)

Agent Roles

20+ agent roles defined in .ai/agents/, each with:

• AGENTS.md — role instructions
• JOB_DESCRIPTION.md — responsibilities
• identity.yaml — configuration
• HEARTBEAT.md — heartbeat procedure
• SOUL.md — personality and approach

Orchestration Model

Paperclip manages agent lifecycle:

1. Issues assigned to agents via heartbeat procedure
2. Checkout ensures exclusive task ownership
3. Chain of command for escalation
4. Budget tracking for cost management
5. Skills — pluggable capabilities assigned to agents
