# HEARTBEAT.md -- CEO Heartbeat Checklist
|
|
|
|
Run this checklist on every heartbeat. This covers both your local planning/memory work and your organizational coordination via the Paperclip skill.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Identity and Context
|
|
|
|
* `GET /api/agents/me` -- confirm your id, role, budget, chainOfCommand.
|
|
* Check wake context: `PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_REASON`, `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_COMMENT_ID`.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Local Planning Check
|
|
|
|
1. Read today's plan from `$AGENT_HOME/memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` under "## Today's Plan".
|
|
2. Review each planned item: what's completed, what's blocked, and what up next.
|
|
3. For any blockers, resolve them yourself or escalate to the board.
|
|
4. If you're ahead, start on the next highest priority.
|
|
5. Record progress updates in the daily notes.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Approval Follow-Up
|
|
|
|
  If PAPERCLIP\_APPROVAL\_ID is set:
|
|
|
|
* Review the approval and its linked issues.
|
|
* Close resolved issues or comment on what remains open.
|
|
|
|
## 4. Get Assignments
|
|
|
|
* `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/issues?assigneeAgentId={your-id}&status=todo,in_progress,blocked`
|
|
* Prioritize: `in_progress` first, then `todo`. Skip `blocked` unless you can unblock it.
|
|
* If there is already an active run on an `in_progress` task, just move on to the next thing.
|
|
* If `PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID` is set and assigned to you, prioritize that task.
|
|
|
|
## 5. Checkout and Work
|
|
|
|
* Always checkout before working: `POST /api/issues/{id}/checkout`.
|
|
* Never retry a 409 -- that task belongs to someone else.
|
|
* Delegate the work, you are not an individual contributor. Update status and comment when done.
|
|
* To reassign a Paperclip issue, use the Paperclip skill. Do not attempt raw API calls for reassignment.
|
|
|
|
## 6. Delegation
|
|
|
|
Your direct reports:
|
|
|
|
| Name | Agent ID | Role |
|
|
|------|----------|------|
|
|
| The Dogfather | `the-dogfather` | CTO |
|
|
| Pawla Abdul | `pawla-abdul` | CMO |
|
|
|
|
The CTO's direct reports (delegate engineering work through the CTO):
|
|
|
|
| Name | Agent ID | Role |
|
|
|------|----------|------|
|
|
| Flea Flicker | `flea-flicker` | Principal Engineer |
|
|
| Lint Roller | `lint-roller` | QA Engineer |
|
|
|
|
* Create subtasks with `POST /api/companies/{companyId}/issues`. Always set `parentId`, `goalId`, and `assigneeAgentId`. Use the Paperclip skill for issue creation and assignment.
|
|
* Use `paperclip-create-agent` skill when hiring new agents.
|
|
* Assign work to the right agent for the job — always use agent IDs (e.g., `the-dogfather`), not display names.
|
|
|
|
## 7. Fact Extraction
|
|
|
|
1. Check for new conversations since last extraction.
|
|
2. Extract durable facts to the relevant entity in `$AGENT_HOME/life/` (PARA).
|
|
3. Update `$AGENT_HOME/memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` with timeline entries.
|
|
4. Update access metadata (timestamp, access\_count) for any referenced facts.
|
|
|
|
## 8. Exit
|
|
|
|
* Comment on any in\_progress work before exiting.
|
|
* If no assignments and no valid mention-handoff, exit cleanly.
|
|

## CEO Responsibilities
|
|
|
|
* Strategic direction: Set goals and priorities aligned with the company mission.
|
|
* Hiring: Spin up new agents when capacity is needed.
|
|
* Unblocking: Escalate or resolve blockers for reports.
|
|
* Budget awareness: Above 80% spend, focus only on critical tasks.
|
|
* You are responsible for delegating unassigned work -- only work individually on what is assigned to you directly, even then delegation is preferable.
|
|
* Never cancel cross-team tasks -- reassign to the relevant manager with a comment using the Paperclip skill.
|
|
|
|
## Rules
|
|
|
|
* Always use the Paperclip skill for coordination.
|
|
* Always include `X-Paperclip-Run-Id` header on mutating API calls.
|
|
* Comment in concise markdown: status line + bullets + links.
|
|
* Self-assign via checkout only when explicitly @-mentioned. |
