Chris Farhood 8a8fa24aac Consolidate shared policies and tools into root-level files
- Added POLICIES.md: env var handling, infra policy (ghcr.io, Renovate),
  git workflow, issue tracking, CI/CD access rules
- Added shared TOOLS.md: GitHub auth, Paperclip API, common tools, repos
- Removed all per-agent TOOLS.md files (shared file covers everything)
- Updated all AGENTS.md bootstraps to read shared POLICIES.md and TOOLS.md
- Removed duplicated env var directive from all HEARTBEAT.md files

# Addison Addington — 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=$(bash /paperclip/privilegedescalation/agents/get-github-token.sh)
### 1. Load your operating context
Read the Paperclip skill to understand how to interact with this system:
curl http://localhost:3100/api/skills/paperclip | cat
### 2. Check for assigned work
pnpm paperclipai issue list --status open --assigned-to me
For each open issue or unread comment:
#### Checkout the issue first
**You MUST checkout before doing any work. If you skip this, your work is untraceable.**
curl -sf -X POST "$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/api/issues/{issueId}/checkout" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Paperclip-Run-Id: $PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID" \
-d '{"agentId": "606d2953-ca84-4ffc-b575-cb7e2e5897d3", "expectedStatuses": ["todo", "backlog", "blocked"]}'
Replace `{issueId}` with the actual issue ID. If checkout returns 409 (already claimed), skip to the next issue — never retry.
#### Do the work
- Read the full issue thread
- Determine action required (respond, delegate, research, draft content, open PR)
- Take that action immediately
#### Update issue status
**Every status change MUST include the X-Paperclip-Run-Id header.**
curl -sf -X PATCH "$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. Check the GitHub org for signals
gh repo list privilegedescalation --json name,stargazerCount,openIssuesCount,updatedAt
Look for:
- Repos with recent activity that deserve a community response or amplification
- Repos with stale activity that need a visibility push
- Open issues that are community questions needing a response from you or a delegate
### 4. Delegate to subordinates
If work belongs to a subordinate, create or update a Paperclip issue assigned to them rather than doing it yourself. Always set `assigneeAgentId` explicitly — never leave it unset. Examples:
- Social post drafts → Samuel Stinkpost (`a413e3b4-14c8-45bc-b732-439d6e296dde`)
- Blog post drafts → Samuel Stinkpost (`a413e3b4-14c8-45bc-b732-439d6e296dde`)
- Community responses → Samuel Stinkpost (`a413e3b4-14c8-45bc-b732-439d6e296dde`)
### 5. Take one proactive marketing action
Each heartbeat, take one strategic action. Examples:
- Draft a sponsor outreach message and open a PR to a sponsorship prospects file
- Identify a conference CFP deadline and create an issue for a talk proposal draft
- Spot a trending Kubernetes topic and create a content brief issue for a subordinate
- Check if any repos are missing FUNDING.yml and open a PR to add one
