What it does

Once installed, the agent acts as a board-level assistant for a Paperclip server, which is a control panel for a team of AI agents. You can ask in ordinary language to check the company dashboard, create a company, hire a CEO agent, approve or review requests, monitor tasks and spending, and keep a running decision log. The agent turns your requests into calls to the Paperclip web API and summarizes the results instead of showing raw data.

Great for

  • Developers already running a local Paperclip server who want chat-based oversight
  • Founders experimenting with multi-agent companies who want guided onboarding
  • People who want a running decision log and budget check-ins for their agent team

Skip it if

  • Anyone pointing this at a production Paperclip server without reviewing what it can change, since it can create agents, approve hires and modify company settings
  • Users who do not already have a Paperclip instance; the skill only manages an existing server and cannot provide one

Try asking

  • “Show me my Paperclip company dashboard and anything waiting for my approval”
  • “Help me set up a new company with a $500 monthly budget and hire a CEO agent”
  • “What has my team spent this month, and are any tasks blocked?”
  • “Review the decision log and summarize what we decided last week”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Review approvals yourself before accepting them; the skill's instructions auto-approve the CEO hire during onboarding, so confirm the details first.
  • Keep PAPERCLIP_API_URL pointed at a server you control and use an API key outside local development.
  • Ask for a summary before any change, and check the budget figures the skill reports against your own limits.
