+2. Add the agent configuration to `company/.paperclip.yaml`
+3. Create at minimum:
+   - `AGENTS.md` - Agent instructions and role definition
+   - `MEMORY.md` - Initial memory/knowledge base (can start empty)
+
+#### Adding a New Skill
+
+1. Create or identify the appropriate `company/skills/<source>/` folder
+2. Add the skill definition to `company/.paperclip.yaml`
+3. Ensure skill files exist in the appropriate subdirectory

+
+## Guidelines
+
+### Agent Naming

+- Use kebab-case for agent names (e.g., `barcode-betty`, `checkout-charlie`)
+- Agent names should be descriptive of the role
+
+### Agent Configuration
+
+When adding or updating agents in `.paperclip.yaml`:
+

+  - Engineers/QA: 14400 seconds (4 hours)
+  - CEO: 28800 seconds (8 hours)
+  - UAT (Deal Dottie): 300 seconds (5 minutes) for rapid response
+
+### Paperclip Configuration Schema

+
+- Ensure valid YAML syntax

+- Include all required fields for agent definitions
+
+### Skill Documentation

+```
+
+## Key Components
+
+### Organization Profile (`profile/`)
+
+The `profile/README.md` is displayed on the CartSnitch GitHub organization page at https://github.com/cartsnitch. It includes:
+- Organization branding and logo
+- Links to key repositories
+- Tech stack overview
+- Getting started information for developers
+
+### Paperclip Configuration (`company/.paperclip.yaml`)
+
+This file defines:
+- All agents in the CartSnitch organization (role, capabilities, adapter config, runtime settings)
+- Company branding settings (brand color, logo)
+- Agent sidebar ordering
+
+### Agent Definitions (`company/agents/`)
+
+Each agent has its own folder containing:
+- `AGENTS.md` - Agent-specific instructions and role definition
+- `MEMORY.md` - Agent's persistent knowledge base
+- Additional agent-specific files (heartbeat configs, github settings, etc.)
+
+### Skills (`company/skills/`)
+
+Shared skills are organized by source:
+- `farhoodliquor/` - Third-party skills from Farhood Liquor
+- `fluxcd/` - Flux CD operational skills
+- `minimax-ai/` - MiniMax AI capabilities
+- `paperclipai/` - Paperclip platform skills
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### Updating Agent Configurations
+
+Agent configurations are defined in `company/.paperclip.yaml`. To update an agent:
+
+1. Edit the agent section in `.paperclip.yaml`
+2. Update the agent's `AGENTS.md` file if role/capabilities changed
+3. Submit changes via PR following the contribution guidelines
+
+### Adding New Agents
+
+New agents should be added to `company/.paperclip.yaml` with:
+- Unique agent name
+- Role (engineer, qa, ceo, cto, cmo)
+- Icon selection
+- Capabilities description
+- Adapter configuration
+- Runtime settings (heartbeat interval, max concurrent runs)
+- Required environment inputs
+
+### Managing Skills
+
+Skills are imported from external sources:
+- `paperclipai/*` skills are sourced from the Paperclip repository
+- `fluxcd/*` skills are sourced from the Flux CD agent-skills repository
+- `farhoodliquor/*` skills are sourced from Farhood Liquor skills repository
+- `minimax-ai/*` skills are sourced from MiniMax AI skills repository
+
+To add or update a skill, edit `company/.paperclip.yaml` and ensure the skill files exist in the appropriate `company/skills/` subdirectory.
+
+### Renovate Configuration
+
+The `renovate-config.json` defines dependency update behavior for all CartSnitch repositories. Updates are automated via Mend Renovate with:
+- Weekly schedule (Monday before 7am)
+- Auto-merge enabled for minor/patch updates
+- Manual review required for major updates
+- Grouped updates for related packages (ESLint, TypeScript, testing, Docker, Kubernetes)
