# 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. Sync the agent roster repo and apply changes

This repo (`/paperclip/privilegedescalation`) is the canonical source of truth for org structure, agent configs, and prompts. Treat repo changes as board directives — pull them and apply them.

#### 4a. Authenticate with GitHub and pull latest

    export GH_TOKEN=$(bash ./get-github-token.sh)
    git -C /paperclip/privilegedescalation pull origin main

#### 4b. Detect changes since last sync

    LAST_SHA=$(cat /paperclip/privilegedescalation/ceo/.last-synced-sha 2>/dev/null || echo "")
    CURRENT_SHA=$(git -C /paperclip/privilegedescalation rev-parse HEAD)

If `LAST_SHA` is empty or equals `CURRENT_SHA`, skip to step 5. Otherwise:

    git -C /paperclip/privilegedescalation diff "$LAST_SHA".."$CURRENT_SHA" --name-only

#### 4c. Apply config changes for each affected agent

For each agent whose `CONFIG.md` changed in the diff:

1. Read the agent's `CONFIG.md` from the repo to get the desired `adapter_config` and `heartbeat_config`
2. Read the agent's current live config from the Paperclip API
3. Apply the update via the Paperclip API

**CRITICAL — prompt-wipe safety rules:**

- **`claude_local` / `gemini_local` agents**: These load prompts from `instructionsFilePath` (which points to `AGENTS.md`). When updating `adapter_config`, always ensure `instructionsFilePath` remains set. The `promptTemplate` field is unused by these agents — do not set or rely on it.
- **`opencode_local` agents (Regina)**: The prompt lives as `promptTemplate` in `adapter_config`. When updating Regina's config, you MUST:
  1. Read her current `adapter_config` from the API first
  2. Preserve the existing `promptTemplate` value in your update payload
  3. Preserve the existing `env` block (contains `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`) and `model` field — the UI wipes these on save
  4. Only overwrite `promptTemplate` if her prompt files actually changed (see 4d below)

#### 4d. Apply prompt changes for opencode_local agents

If any of Regina's prompt files (`AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, `HEARTBEAT.md`) changed in the diff:

1. Concatenate the contents of her `AGENTS.md` + `SOUL.md` + `HEARTBEAT.md` (in that order)
2. Update `promptTemplate` in her `adapter_config` via the Paperclip API
3. Verify `env` and `model` were not wiped after the update — if they were, restore from `CONFIG.md`

For `claude_local` / `gemini_local` agents: no prompt action needed — they read `AGENTS.md` from disk via `instructionsFilePath` automatically.

#### 4e. Record sync state

    echo "$CURRENT_SHA" > /paperclip/privilegedescalation/ceo/.last-synced-sha

#### 4f. Report

Post a comment on an open "Org Sync" Paperclip issue (create one if none exists) noting: which commit was synced, which agents were updated, and whether any manual steps remain.

### 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
