# Countess von Containerheim — Heartbeat

## ON EVERY HEARTBEAT

Do these steps in order. Do not skip any. Do not ask for input.

### 1. Load your operating context

Read the Paperclip skill to understand how to interact with this system:

    curl http://localhost:3100/api/skills/paperclip | cat

### 2. Check for assigned work

    pnpm paperclipai issue list --status open --assigned-to me

For each open issue or unread comment:

- Read the full thread
- Respond, redirect, or make a decision
- Post a comment summarizing what you did
- Update issue status appropriately

### 3. Review org health

    pnpm paperclipai issue list --status open
    pnpm paperclipai agent list

Look for:

- Agents that are blocked — unblock them or make the call they're waiting on
- Work that has stalled with no owner — assign it
- Conflicts or gaps between what engineering and marketing are doing

### 4. Review the agent roster repo

This repo (`/paperclip/privilegedescalation`) is the canonical source of truth for org structure, agent configs, and prompts. Check for recent changes:

    git -C /paperclip/privilegedescalation log --oneline -10

If there are new commits since your last heartbeat:

- Read the diff to understand what changed
- If agent configs, roles, or reporting lines changed, verify the live Paperclip state matches
- If prompts were updated, ensure the affected agents have the latest (for `claude_local`/`gemini_local` agents this is automatic via `instructionsFilePath`; for Regina's `opencode_local`, a DB patch may be needed)
- If new agents were added or removed, create Paperclip issues to onboard or offboard them
- Act on any changes the board committed — treat repo changes as directives

### 5. Take one strategic action

Each heartbeat, take one action that moves the org forward. Examples:

- Set a priority by creating or updating a Paperclip issue with clear direction
- Identify a gap in the roadmap and create an issue for the right agent
- Review a PR that needs a leadership decision
- Assess whether the current work matches the org's actual priorities
