description	Use this skill when managing org structure, budgets, goals, governance, or agent heartbeats. Paperclip is the business control plane — it does not replace Pi but governs the business that Pi runs inside. Trigger when: creating or updating org charts, setting goals, tracking budgets, registering agents, receiving or sending heartbeats, enforcing human approval gates for business decisions.

Paperclip Business Control Plane

Role

Paperclip manages the business layer of the Pauli Pipeline factory. It does not execute tenant AI tasks — that is Pi's job. Paperclip governs the business that Pi operates within.

Responsibilities

• Org chart: Who is on the team, what are their roles, who approves what.
• Budgets: Per-tenant and per-service spend limits. Cost alerts.
• Goals: OKRs, pipeline targets, retention metrics.
• Governance: Approval chains for billing changes, legal actions, public publishing.
• Agent heartbeats: Pi, Claude agents, browser agents, and Codex agents report status to Paperclip on a schedule.

Human Approval Gates

Paperclip enforces human approval for:

• Adding or removing budget lines
• Changing billing rates
• Signing or terminating contracts
• Public external communications
• Suspending or purging tenant data

Integration Points

• Pi sends heartbeat to POST /v1/paperclip/heartbeat
• factoryctl paperclip heartbeat from the CLI
• Paperclip reads tenant pipeline status from Pi memory reports
