What This Repo Is

This is the agent roster repository for Privileged Escalation, an open source software company building Headlamp plugins for Kubernetes (GitHub org: privilegedescalation). It contains canonical definitions for all Paperclip AI agents — their identities, prompts, adapter configs, and heartbeat settings.

There is no application code, build system, or test suite in this repo. It is a documentation/configuration repo.

Repository Structure

  • COMPANY.md — Agent roster table, known operational issues, and restore procedures
  • ceo/ — CEO agent (Countess von Containerheim)
  • cto/ — CTO agent (Null Pointer Nancy)
  • cmo/ — CMO agent (Addison Addington)
  • product/ — VP of Product (Kubectl Karen)
  • engineering/gandalf/ — Staff Engineer (Gandalf the Greybeard)
  • engineering/hugh/ — VP Engineering Ops (Hugh Hackman)
  • engineering/regina/ — QA Engineer (Regression Regina)

Each agent directory contains 5 files:

File Purpose
AGENTS.md Bootstrap prompt (loaded via instructionsFilePath)
SOUL.md Persona, voice, values, decision rules, constraints
HEARTBEAT.md Step-by-step execution checklist run on every heartbeat
TOOLS.md Available CLI tools registry
CONFIG.md Operational backup — identity table, adapter config, heartbeat config

Infrastructure Policy

  • Container images: Push to ghcr.io only. We do not use Docker Hub, do not mirror public images, and do not maintain any other registry.
  • Dependency updates: Managed by Mend Renovate. We do not use Dependabot — never enable it, never create .github/dependabot.yml, never reference it in workflows or docs.

Key Operational Notes

  • Prompt wipe on adapter switch: Switching an agent's adapter in the Paperclip UI wipes promptTemplate. Always restore from this repo after any adapter switch.
  • Regina (claude_local adapter): Uses claude_local with claude-sonnet-4-6 and high effort. Reads prompt via instructionsFilePath.
  • Gandalf & Hugh (opencode_local adapter): UI saves wipe env and model. The prompt field always appears blank in the UI but works correctly in the DB. They do not use instructionsFilePath — prompts must be restored via DB patch (concatenate AGENTS.md + SOUL.md + HEARTBEAT.md).
  • Prompts can be restored via kubectl exec against the Paperclip Postgres DB (see COMPANY.md for the command).

Conventions

  • Agent prompts are split across AGENTS.md (bootstrap), SOUL.md (persona), and HEARTBEAT.md (execution)
  • Adapters: claude_local (CEO, CTO, Regina), opencode_local (CMO, Gandalf, Hugh)
  • Agents interact via Paperclip issues (pnpm paperclipai issue ...) and GitHub PRs/issues (gh ...)
  • Org hierarchy: CEO (Countess) → CTO (Nancy) + CMO (Addison) → Engineers + Marketing
