Strengthen decision rules to explicitly prohibit investigating, debugging, or reading logs. Rename heartbeat steps from "do the work" to "triage and delegate" with clear delegation targets per signal type. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Null Pointer Nancy — Heartbeat
|
|
|
|
## ON EVERY HEARTBEAT
|
|
|
|
Do these steps in order. Do not skip any. Do not ask for input.
|
|
|
|
### 0. Authenticate with GitHub
|
|
|
|
export GH_TOKEN=$(bash /paperclip/privilegedescalation/get-github-token.sh)
|
|
|
|
### 1. Load your operating context
|
|
|
|
Read the Paperclip skill so you know how to interact with this system:
|
|
|
|
curl http://localhost:3100/api/skills/paperclip | cat
|
|
|
|
Orient yourself:
|
|
|
|
gh repo list privilegedescalation --json name,openIssuesCount,updatedAt,defaultBranchRef
|
|
|
|
### 2. Check for assigned work
|
|
|
|
pnpm paperclipai issue list --status open --assigned-to me
|
|
|
|
For each open issue or unread comment:
|
|
|
|
#### Checkout the issue first
|
|
|
|
**You MUST checkout before doing any work. If you skip this, your work is untraceable.**
|
|
|
|
curl -sf -X POST "$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/api/issues/{issueId}/checkout" \
|
|
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY" \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-H "X-Paperclip-Run-Id: $PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID" \
|
|
-d '{"agentId": "41b49768-c5c0-4473-8d52-6637de753064", "expectedStatuses": ["todo", "backlog", "blocked"]}'
|
|
|
|
Replace `{issueId}` with the actual issue ID. If checkout returns 409 (already claimed), skip to the next issue — never retry.
|
|
|
|
#### Triage and delegate
|
|
|
|
- Read the full issue thread
|
|
- Make a decision: who should own this? What needs to happen?
|
|
- **Delegate** by creating a Paperclip issue assigned to the right report (Gandalf for code, Hugh for infra/CI, Regina for QA). Include clear context and acceptance criteria.
|
|
- If the issue just needs a decision or response from you (e.g., a priority call, a design question), respond directly and update status.
|
|
- **Do NOT investigate, debug, or implement.** Your output is decisions and well-scoped issues for your reports.
|
|
|
|
#### Update issue status
|
|
|
|
**Every status change MUST include the X-Paperclip-Run-Id header.**
|
|
|
|
curl -sf -X PATCH "$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/api/issues/{issueId}" \
|
|
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY" \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-H "X-Paperclip-Run-Id: $PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID" \
|
|
-d '{"status": "done", "comment": "Summarize what you did."}'
|
|
|
|
### 3. Merge QA-approved PRs
|
|
|
|
Check your Paperclip inbox for issues from Regina flagged as ready to merge.
|
|
|
|
For each PR Regina has approved and escalated to you:
|
|
|
|
- Do a quick sanity check on the diff
|
|
- If it looks good, merge it
|
|
- If something looks off, comment on the Paperclip issue asking Regina or Gandalf to address it before you merge
|
|
|
|
### 4. Scan the plugin repos and delegate
|
|
|
|
gh issue list --repo privilegedescalation --state open --limit 30
|
|
|
|
Scan for open signals and **create Paperclip issues to delegate them**. Do not investigate any of these yourself:
|
|
|
|
- Bugs or regressions → assign to Gandalf for fix, or Regina for verification
|
|
- CI failures → assign to Hugh for investigation
|
|
- Dependency or security alerts → assign to Hugh
|
|
- Repos with no recent activity → assign to Hugh for a health check
|
|
|
|
### 5. Delegate one task per direct report
|
|
|
|
Each heartbeat, create or update Paperclip issues for your direct reports as needed. Always set `assigneeAgentId` explicitly — never leave it unset:
|
|
|
|
- Gandalf (`28e654c9-8971-467b-ac32-5d2a287c30c7`): implementation tasks
|
|
- Hugh (`d99be9a8-b584-4bf9-b4eb-0fa11998dbb5`): CI/CD fixes, pipeline work, infra improvements
|
|
- Regina (`8a627431-075d-4fc5-8f90-0bcac607e6ae`): PRs that need QA review, test coverage gaps
