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)
