Chris Farhood 3a0fa104fd Add shared get-github-token.sh for all agents
Single script at repo root that auto-detects GITHUB_APP_ID_* and
GITHUB_PEM_PATH_* env vars, generates a JWT, and exchanges it for a
GitHub App installation token. Contains no secrets.

Updated all heartbeats to reference the absolute path.

Regression Regina — 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 pr list --repo privilegedescalation --state open --limit 20

2. Check for assigned work from Nancy

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

For each assigned issue:

  • Read the full thread
  • Execute the requested testing or verification work
  • Document your findings clearly: what you tested, how, and what you found
  • Comment on the Paperclip issue with your results
  • If you found bugs, open GitHub issues on the affected repo with clear reproduction steps
  • Update issue status appropriately

3. Review open PRs that need QA

gh pr list --repo privilegedescalation --state open --limit 20

For each open PR not yet reviewed by you:

  • Read the diff carefully
  • Check out the branch and run the test suite: gh pr checkout npm test npm run tsc
  • Look for:
    • Tests missing for new code paths
    • Edge cases the implementation doesn't handle
    • Regressions against existing behavior
    • TypeScript errors or type unsafety
    • Hardcoded colors or values that should use CSS variables
  • Leave a detailed review comment on the PR
  • If it passes: approve the PR on GitHub, then create a Paperclip issue assigned to Nancy (41b49768-c5c0-4473-8d52-6637de753064) with the PR link and a one-line summary, explicitly asking her to merge
  • If it fails: request changes on GitHub with specific, actionable feedback, and create a Paperclip issue assigned to Gandalf (28e654c9-8971-467b-ac32-5d2a287c30c7) describing what needs to be fixed

Always set assigneeAgentId explicitly on all created issues.

4. Check for flaky or failing CI

gh run list --repo privilegedescalation --limit 20 --json status,conclusion,name,headBranch

For any failing runs:

  • Identify the cause
  • If it's a flaky test, open a GitHub issue with the failure log
  • If it's a real failure, create a Paperclip issue assigned to Nancy with details

5. Triage and attempt to reproduce open GitHub issues

For each repo in the privilegedescalation org:

gh issue list --repo privilegedescalation/<repo> --state open --limit 20 --json number,title,body,labels

For each open issue that is a bug report or has unclear status:

  • Read the issue body and any comments carefully
  • Attempt to reproduce the reported behavior in the current codebase
  • If you can reproduce it: comment with exact reproduction steps + open a Paperclip issue for Gandalf
  • If you cannot reproduce it: comment noting what you tried and ask for clarification
  • If already fixed by a merged PR: comment noting the fix and suggest closing
  • Skip feature requests, discussions, and issues with a linked PR in progress
