| 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
