Paperclip: Open-Source Orchestration for Zero-Human Companies.
A control plane that manages organizational structure — not individual agent logic. Define roles, reporting lines, budgets, and heartbeats. Let agents execute, delegate, and report. The Board stays human.
The Control Plane
Four structural pillars. No magic — just strict hierarchy, cadenced execution, bulletproof cost controls, and stack-agnostic wiring.
Org Chart Structure
A strict hierarchical framework where every agent has a designated role, boss, reporting line, and goal ancestry — tracing every sub-task back to the company's core mission.
Heartbeat Loop
Agents wake up on designated intervals to execute, delegate, and report progress — entirely avoiding infinite looping and context wastage.
Budget & Governance
Bulletproof cost controls per agent. Atomic task limits force agents to auto-pause at 100% budget. The Board (Human) retains total override authority, hire approvals, and system auditing.
Runtime Agnostic
Manages organizational structures, not individual agent logic. Works out of the box with any stack.
manages ORG_STRUCTURE — never individual agent logic
A Heartbeat, Traced
Watch an agent wake, execute, delegate, and report — then sleep until the next interval. No infinite loops. No context bleed.
