What paperclip-ai-orchestration does

This skill guides Claude Code in interacting with Paperclip environments. The underlying platform organizes AI workers into formal reporting structures, assigning titles and direct reports across engines such as Claude Code or Cursor.

Task distribution follows an objective tree. Because tickets inherit goal ancestry, workers retain the rationale behind assigned work. Spending remains capped through self-reported token counters. Once an agent exhausts its monthly USD limit, the engine halts further operations. Recurring checks run via cron heartbeats.

Local setups require at least Node.js 20 and pnpm 9.15+. The server initializes an internal PostgreSQL instance at http://localhost:3100, while production deployments connect to external Postgres and S3 storage.

What it helps with

  • structure multiple agents into an organizational chart with roles
  • enforce strict monthly USD budget caps per worker
  • schedule recurring task lookups with cron-based heartbeats
  • align individual tickets with overarching company goals

Example prompts for the agent

  • Initialize a new company in Paperclip and register Alice as CTO
  • Set a $200 monthly budget cap for the Claude Code agent in Paperclip
  • Schedule an hourly heartbeat to fetch open tickets from Paperclip
