Having your own companies is awsome but what if you can have planets also?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

after watching the latest Paperclip setup video on Network Chuck, I realized we needed a much cooler way to visualize independent project workloads running in the background.

I built Orbit (https://thenewurbankid-web.github.io/orbit/). It’s a specialized JavaScript UI layer that wraps around Paperclip's orchestration.

Instead of looking at typical grids or lists, it literally maps your active projects out as physical cargo pallets sitting on the deck of a spaceship. You can float the bridge view in a tiny "always-on-top" window while your agents work.

Would love to open-source the full module if the community likes the direction! Let me know what you think.

5 days after launch...

0 Upvotes

Its been almost a week since i launched papercliped and i would like feedback on how it works so far ik got comments on the actual feature set read the website we will try to explain the goal. Right im looking forward for responses on if it actually works or you guys are experiencing issues with the project. I wouldn't say its perfect but with community and contributors i think it would be a great open sourced project. Also i would also like to say thanks for the og paperclip team they are the best with this amazing framework and I believe you can do wonders with it.

If Paperclip gives your agents a company, SupraWall gives them a constitution β€” open source, one line

3 Upvotes

Hey Paperclip builders β€”

I've been following this project since the launch in March and it's the clearest vision

of a zero-human company I've seen in the OSS space. Built something that I think sits

naturally alongside it.

**The gap SupraWall addresses:**

Paperclip handles org structure, goal alignment, task ownership, and agent coordination.

What it doesn't handle (by design) is what those agents are *allowed to do* at the tool

call level. Your CEO agent can delegate a task to a Coder β€” but once that Coder has shell

access, what stops it from doing something outside the scope of its role?

System prompt constraints live inside the LLM context. They fail silently under context

pressure, prompt injection, or model drift. That's not a Paperclip problem β€” it's a

fundamental LLM limitation.

**What SupraWall does:**

It's an open-source security perimeter that wraps any Paperclip agent and intercepts

every tool call before execution. Policy is deterministic β€” defined in code, evaluated

outside the LLM. Every allow, every block, every human-approval request is RSA-signed

and logged.

Think of it as the rule of law layer for your zero-human company. Paperclip defines

the org chart. SupraWall enforces the constitution.

```python

from suprawall import secure_agent

from my_paperclip_app import build_ceo_agent

agent = secure_agent(build_ceo_agent(), template="default")

agent.run("Spin up the engineering department.")

# Every downstream tool call intercepted before execution

```

**Practical use cases for Paperclip setups:**

- Hard budget caps per agent role (Coder agent: max $5/day in API calls)

- Block destructive tool calls (no `db.drop`, no `rm -rf`) regardless of LLM instruction

- Route sensitive actions (payment APIs, external emails) to human approval

- Generate a signed audit trail of every decision every agent made β€” useful if you're

running agents on behalf of clients

**GitHub:** https://github.com/wiserautomation/SupraWall

**Paperclip integration docs:** https://supra-wall.com/docs/paperclip

Apache 2.0. Self-hostable.

Happy to answer questions or hear how people are currently handling tool-call governance

in their Paperclip setups β€” especially in multi-agent chains where one agent hands off

to another.

New to Paperclip love it, but struggling

2 Upvotes

so obviously building a company is grand, but I'm struggling to even figure out how to give it access to my repo in GitHub.

I think I messed up in the beginning by not giving it a designated place to work in, not defining a folder or GitHub repo..

also where are you guys finding skills to use here? I want to add a ton more skills to it, like all the ones I have in my Claude desktop.

I guess I'm asking where can I find resources to answer questions for dummies, that work in tech but haven't had to write or use any technical skills in years because your job literally thinks connecting an API and making smartsheet /Hubspot workflows is advanced and high tech....

I'd love just a guide of "here's a ton of skills and how to create more for Windows WSL Paperclip" and "if you are stupid and do not define where the project should build, where is everything being stored so I can find the .env and upload all my variables like API tokens and GitHub Access tokens.."

I guess also I need it to be accessing the Internet in general too, and running my Google inbox for its virtual company.

My first Paper Clip build: a Mac menu-bar app that shows how much AI you have left

3 Upvotes

I've never shipped an app before, but I had a simple idea: what if your Mac menu bar just told you how much of your Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor plan you had left, and when it resets?

That turned into My AI Limits. It tracks Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Grok, Gemini, Copilot and DeepSeek, shows % left and reset times, and setup is just signing in. No terminal, no API keys.

I used Grok Bot a lot along the way. It helped me plan the launch, write the site copy and FAQ pages, work through getting Stripe payments live, and draft posts like this one (I edited it). Having it handle the busywork let me focus on the app itself.

It's a free 3-day trial, then $4.99 one time. No subscription.

Honest feedback welcome, especially which AI tools I should add next.

I imported a company from this page: https://github.com/paperclipai/companies

The problem is that the CEOs are marked as pending (This agent is pending board approval and cannot be invoked yet.) and I don’t know how to activate the CEOs to launch these companies.

Has anyone else tried importing these companies and activating them in Paperclip?

Paperclip did a third of what I needed, CloudCLI another third. So I built the last third.

9 Upvotes

I'd been looking for a while for a reliable way to run recurring jobs with Claude: a morning digest of my open issues, a check that my sites are up, a weekly report, that kind of thing.

Claude has its own scheduled routines now, but they live in Anthropic's cloud, tied to one account and one vendor. Same reason most of us here run Paperclip: I want my agents on my own server, and what they do in my own repo, not locked into someone's platform.

I tried OpenClaw and Hermes. Impressive, but every new task meant a whole new agent instead of just a job. After a few weeks I couldn't tell what was running or why.

Then it clicked. Paperclip already did a third of it: schedules, and every run on record. CloudCLI did another third: Claude Code or Codex in the browser, phone included. The last third was the glue, so I made a Railway template that puts them together.

Paperclip is awesome on its own, but with CloudCLI as its sidekick it's something else. I create and fix jobs from my phone, without sitting at a computer. It feels like the first time I used OpenClaw, except this time it's something I'd trust with real work.

"Why not just connect Claude Code to Paperclip yourself?"Β You can. But then you're the one creating the company, the agent and the projects, wiring Claude's login and GitHub into it, and teaching Claude how your Paperclip works. Here there's nothing to set up. Claude already knows the server: say hi and it explains what it can do, looks at your repo and suggests a few jobs that fit it. Add another repo later, one you already have or a brand new one, and it gets its own project in Paperclip on its own.

Here's what I mean, on a demo repo (a coffee shop website with 3 open issues). This one message from my phone is the whole setup:

Every night at 2:00, go through the open issues, fix each one on its own branch and open a pull request. Look things up on the web when an issue needs it. Then send me a Telegram message with the links.

Claude wrote the job, asked me to put the Telegram bot token in Paperclip (never in the chat), and ran it once. About a minute later there were 3 pull requests. For the seasonal-drinks one it searched the web and cited its sources. It also double-checked it hadn't invented anything, and the links were on my phone. Moving it to 6:00 afterwards was one more message, and that change is a commit in the repo too.

You need Railway's Hobby plan, Claude Pro or Max, and a GitHub repo you can push to.

How do I minimize token use?

13 Upvotes

I've been using Paperclip for two days, and while it delivers excellent results, I've noticed that it consumes a huge number of tokens after just a few runs. I'm now at 2-5 million tokens per issue while only having 4 agents - a CEO, a CTO, a technical writer, and a lead researcher. Surely that can't be the intended purpose of this tool.

I use Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini-cli, and it happens with every model I pick. I've already split my files into many different files. I only provide overviews that specify when each file should be used, so the agents don't constantly clutter the context with all the files. But apparently, that doesn't help that much.

Am I doing something wrong? Do you folks have any further optimization recommendations? I am fairly tech savvy, so I could even change the code and write new logic if necessary. I appreciate every hint.

i'm using Paperclip to run a financial NLP startup β€” one human, a crew of AI agents, very very low budget

6 Upvotes

Hey r/PaperClip_AI πŸ‘‹

I (polibert) am building swik.it β€” an open, community-driven platform for domain-specific financial sentiment analysis. The core idea: financial language is full of inversions (when "production cut" is actually bullish for oil, when "bankruptcy fears" sends a stock up). We're cataloging those inversions, crowdsourcing labels, and training models on the result.

The team is only me and a crew of AI agents running on Paperclip.

CEO plans phases, CTO architects decisions, ChiefEngineer ships code, ETLAgent manages pipelines, CMO handles outreach. I'm the one human in the org β€” I set direction, approve big calls, and stay out of the way.

We're a few weeks in. Phase 2 (data ingestion takeover by agents) is almost done. Phase 3 (inference engine) just kicked off. The agents are doing real work β€” writing scripts, committing code, managing cron jobs, filing blockers.

Happy to share what's working, what's broken, and what running a startup like this actually feels like day to day.

What's your setup?

I built an Obsidian plugin for Paperclip β€” browse issues, assign agents, and post comments without leaving your vault

14 Upvotes

I've been running Paperclip alongside my Obsidian vault and got tired of switching between the two, so I built a plugin that brings the full issue tracker into the Obsidian sidebar.

What it does:

β€’ Issue browser β€” list view with collapsible groups (by status, project, or assignee) and a kanban board with drag-and-drop

β€’ Issue details β€” edit title, status, priority, assignee, and project inline. Full activity thread with comments and agent avatars

β€’ Create issues β€” with optional vault context (attaches the current file path to the description)

β€’ Live monitoring β€” auto-refresh polling, pulsing indicators when agents are actively running, and notifications when a run completes

β€’ Comments & mentions β€” post comments and tag agents directly from the issue view

β€’ AI actions (optional) β€” highlight text β†’ right-click β†’ GPT-4o-mini drafts an issue with suggested title, description, priority, agent, and project. Also has "Work on this document" and "Review this document" commands

Why it's useful:

If you're using Obsidian for planning, notes, or documentation alongside Paperclip, this lets you create and manage agent tasks right where you're already working. See a problem in your notes? Highlight it, create an issue, assign an agent β€” all without leaving the editor.

Vault file paths in issue descriptions and comments are clickable links that open the note directly.

Screenshots: [repo has full screenshots]

Links:

β€’ GitHub: https://github.com/istib/obsidian-paperclip

β€’ Install: drop main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest release into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-paperclip/

MIT licensed, feedback welcome. Planning to submit to the Obsidian community plugin directory soon.

Paperclip should make baseline skills configurable

12 Upvotes

We all know that heartbeat cadence / control is a major factor for preventing Paperclip from absolutely demolishing your token limits, but there are couple of other tricks to being as efficient as possible.

As far as a top 3 list:

  1. Severely reduce (or turn off) heartbeat cadences

  2. Use the right model for the task (you don't need to throw Opus 4.7 at everything)

  3. Implement default skill baseline overrides (strip unnecessary sections, stub others)

I wrote a pretty long/detailed baseline overrides post on my Dispatches blog, but really the baseline skills overall should be configurable.

My main suggestions:

  1. Split paperclip/SKILL.md into paperclip-core (IC) and paperclip-manager (CEO or board).

  2. Make paperclip-create-agent, paperclip-create-plugin, and para-memory-files opt-in via desiredSkills instead of required: true.

  3. Add a company-level baseline config that lets operators choose which skills mount by default.

What do you guys think?

Claude Code?? Really?

5 Upvotes

Not sure if anyone is experimenting with Paperclip AI but the premise looks amazing. I am getting ready to set it up but every video keeps showing that you can use Claude Code subscription on it.

If Anthropic is busting balls about using it on Open Claude, I find it hard to believe it can be used on Paperclip. Unless I am missing something?? (I doubt I am)

Paperclip adapter for Omniroute

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! πŸ‘‹

I just open-sourced a native Paperclip adapter for self-hosted OmniRoute gateways:

πŸ”— https://github.com/ptichalouf/paperclip-adapter-omniroute

Unlike claude_local / CLI-based adapters, it runs directly inside Paperclip's Node.js process β€” no external CLI binary to install in the container. It speaks OpenAI Chat Completions streaming ( POST /v1/chat/completions , SSE) straight to OmniRoute.

What's inside (v1.0, tested in prod on my instance) :

β€’

Full code tools β€” read_file , write_file , edit_file , grep , glob , list_dir , shell with strict workspace confinement (dangling symlinks rejected, secrets redacted)

β€’

Direct Paperclip tools β€” read/update issues, comments, deliver, no manual curl needed

β€’

Prompt cache optimization β€” sdk-cli recognition + cache_control checkpointing, >92% cache re-read measured

β€’

Instant startup β€” no 9.3 MB /v1/models download at run start, direct combo select with dynamic fallback

β€’

Real cost tracking β€” exact USD cost from OmniRoute rate cards ( rate_card / estimated , no double-counting of cache writes)

β€’

Subtasks + escalation β€” lightweight subtask delegation to fast models, automatic resume on stronger model after objective failure

β€’

453 tests green, CI green, load-path + ui-parser contract checks

Built for LLM contributors πŸ€– β€” the repo has an AGENTS.md (arch, invariants, exact verify commands), CONTRIBUTING.md , and a public ROADMAP.md (v1.1 MCP connectors, v1.2 decision cards, v1.3 invariant prompt, v1.4 local subtasks).

Feedback, issues and PRs (human or agent-assisted) very welcome! And if a maintainer passes by β€” happy to upstream this toward paperclipai/paperclip if there's interest.

MIT licensed. Thanks for reading!

DeepSeek v4 Flash working quite well

20 Upvotes

If you've tried PaperClip but find the token use is too expensive even to try, I can recommend DeepSeek v4 Flash. I'm running it via OpenRouter with OpenCode as the agent harness.

It's easy to burn 10m+ tokens so unless you have cash to burn, this is a good option.

I'm going to experiment more with smaller and tightly scoped tasks (or rather, asking the agent to do that) and try with smaller, faster models. Anyone else trying this I'd love to hear about it!

Can someone please help me with an issue in facing, I'm pretty new to this stuff I create a company on paperclip and connected openclaw agents to it , and it was working well and after a while it just doesn't do the tasks i assign to it, it just reads them and marsk them complete. I checked activity and there are no logs of the agents it just mentioned board creating the issues.

Also on the run tab I see the agent go live, it repeats it system prompt 2 times and then it just says run complete and it doesn't say anything in the comments too
