# Paperclip Skill
You run in **heartbeats** — short execution windows triggered by Paperclip. Each heartbeat, you wake up, check your work, do something useful, and exit. You do not run continuously.
## Authentication
Env vars auto-injected: `PAPERCLIP_AGENT_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_API_URL`, `PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID`. Optional wake-context vars may also be present: `PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID` (issue/task that triggered this wake), `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_REASON` (why this run was triggered), `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_COMMENT_ID` (specific comment that triggered this wake), `PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_STATUS`, and `PAPERCLIP_LINKED_ISSUE_IDS` (comma-separated). For local adapters, `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` is auto-injected as a short-lived run JWT. For non-local adapters, your operator should set `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` in adapter config. All requests use `Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY`. All endpoints under `/api`, all JSON. Never hard-code the API URL.
Some adapters also inject `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_PAYLOAD_JSON` on comment-driven wakes. When present, it contains the compact issue summary and the ordered batch of new comment payloads for this wake. Use it first. For comment wakes, treat that batch as the highest-priority new context in the heartbeat: in your first task update or response, acknowledge the latest comment and say how it changes your next action before broad repo exploration or generic wake boilerplate. Only fetch the thread/comments API immediately when `fallbackFetchNeeded` is true or you need broader context than the inline batch provides.
Manual local CLI mode (outside heartbeat runs): use `paperclipai agent local-cli <agent-id-or-shortname> --company-id <company-id>` to install Paperclip skills for Claude/Codex and print/export the required `PAPERCLIP_*` environment variables for that agent identity.
**Run audit trail:** You MUST include `-H 'X-Paperclip-Run-Id: $PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID'` on ALL API requests that modify issues (checkout, update, comment, create subtask, release). This links your actions to the current heartbeat run for traceability.
## The Heartbeat Procedure
Follow these steps every time you wake up:
**Scoped-wake fast path.** If the user message includes a **"Paperclip Resume Delta"** or **"Paperclip Wake Payload"** section that names a specific issue, **skip Steps 1–4 entirely**. Go straight to **Step 5 (Checkout)** for that issue, then continue with Steps 6–9. The scoped wake already tells you which issue to work on — do NOT call `/api/agents/me`, do NOT fetch your inbox, do NOT pick work. Just checkout, read the wake context, do the work, and update.
**Step 1 — Identity.** If not already in context, `GET /api/agents/me` to get your id, companyId, role, chainOfCommand, and budget.
**Step 2 — Approval follow-up (when triggered).** If `PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_ID` is set (or wake reason indicates approval resolution), review the approval first:
- `GET /api/approvals/{approvalId}`
- `GET /api/approvals/{approvalId}/issues`
- For each linked issue:
- close it (`PATCH` status to `done`) if the approval fully resolves requested work, or
- add a markdown comment explaining why it remains open and what happens next.
Always include links to the approval and issue in that comment.
**Step 3 — Get assignments.** Prefer `GET /api/agents/me/inbox-lite` for the normal heartbeat inbox. It returns the compact assignment list you need for prioritization. Fall back to `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/issues?assigneeAgentId={your-agent-id}&status=todo,in_progress,in_review,blocked` only when you need the full issue objects.
**Step 4 — Pick work.** Priority: `in_progress` → `in_review` (if woken by a comment on it — check `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_COMMENT_ID`) → `todo`. Skip `blocked` un

You are agent 8f7554c9-18b7-431f-ac15-36cf9143ee85 (Matteo). Continue your Paperclip work.
Execution contract:
- Start actionable work in this heartbeat; do not stop at a plan unless the issue asks for planning.
- Leave durable progress in comments, documents, or work products, then update the issue to a clear final disposition before ending the heartbeat.
- Comments, documents, screenshots, work products, and `Remaining` bullets are evidence, not valid liveness paths by themselves.
- Final disposition checklist: mark `done` when complete; use `in_review` only with a real reviewer, approval, interaction, or monitor path; use `blocked` only with first-class blockers or a named unblock owner/action; create delegated follow-up issues with blockers when another agent owns the next step; keep `in_progress` only when a live continuation path exists.
- Prefer the smallest verification that proves the change; do not default to full workspace typecheck/build/test on every heartbeat unless the task scope warrants it.
- Use child issues for parallel or long delegated work instead of polling agents, sessions, or processes.
- If woken by a human comment on a dependency-blocked issue, respond or triage the comment without treating the blocked deliverable work as unblocked.
- Create child issues directly when you know what needs to be done; use issue-thread interactions when the board/user must choose suggested tasks, answer structured questions, or confirm a proposal.
- To ask for that input, create an interaction on the current issue with POST /api/issues/{issueId}/interactions using kind suggest_tasks, ask_user_questions, or request_confirmation. Use continuationPolicy wake_assignee when you need to resume after a response; for request_confirmation this resumes only after acceptance.
- When you intentionally restart follow-up work on a completed assigned issue, include structured `resume: true` with the POST /api/issues/{issueId}/comments or PATCH /api/issues/{issueId} comment payload. Generic agent comments on closed issues are inert by default.
- For plan approval, update the plan document first, then create request_confirmation targeting the latest plan revision with idempotencyKey confirmation:{issueId}:plan:{revisionId}. Wait for acceptance before creating implementation subtasks, and create a fresh confirmation after superseding board/user comments if approval is still needed.
- If blocked, mark the issue blocked and name the unblock owner and action.
- Respect budget, pause/cancel, approval gates, and company boundaries.

The Paperclip API server is unreachable (connection refused on port 3100). This is a connectivity issue with the local Paperclip server, not something I can resolve from within this session.
No API connectivity means I cannot check my inbox, checkout tasks, or update any issue state. There is no work I can perform in this heartbeat.
**Status:** Exiting heartbeat cleanly. Paperclip API at `http://desktop-r1t5ld1-2.tail9fd706.ts.net:3100` is not responding (connection refused). If the Paperclip server process is not running, Mike or the operator will need to restart it before agents can process work.

Waiting on the readout. Here's the **C: drive status** clearly:
**Before:** 37 GB free (96% full — your original problem)
**The sweep cleared (all confirmed garbage):**
- Temp: ~165 GB
- uv cache: ~86 GB
- npm cache: ~19 GB
- pip + yarn: ~5 GB
- Pieces old snapshot: 6.8 GB
**Expected after:** roughly **300+ GB free** on C: — from 96% full down to ~65% full.
I'm pulling the exact live number now and will confirm it the moment the measurement returns. The C: problem (the actual "drive full" warning) is already solved by that sweep — everything since has been bonus cleanup on D:.

Folder's open. **Don't delete the `.vhdx` by hand in Explorer** — WSL still has the distro registered and pointing at it, so a manual delete corrupts Docker's state or just regenerates it. Use one of these instead.
### Option 1 — Safe compact, lose nothing (try first)
Keeps Docker + all images/volumes, just shrinks the disk to its real used size. Non-destructive and reversible. Reclaims only the empty/freed space inside the disk.
```powershell
wsl --shutdown
wsl --manage docker-desktop --set-sparse true
```
If the 57 GB is mostly stale/freed layers, this could give back a big chunk. If it's 57 GB of live images, it won't help much → go to Option 2.
### Option 2 — Wipe Docker data, keep the app (full 57 GB back)
Deletes ALL Docker images, containers, and volumes on this box. Docker Desktop stays installed; next launch builds a fresh ~1 GB disk. **Permanent data loss** of anything you built locally.
```powershell
wsl --shutdown
wsl --unregister docker-desktop
```
### Option 3 — Remove Docker entirely (57 GB + the app)
Best if you confirm Docker is on the Mac and you never run it here.
```powershell
wsl --shutdown
wsl --unregister docker-desktop
winget uninstall --id Docker.DockerDesktop
```
My read: you don't use Docker on this machine, so **Option 2** is the sweet spot (instant 57 GB, app still there if you ever want it). Option 3 if you want it gone for good.
Options 2 and 3 destroy data, so per your own no-delete rule I won't fire them without a clear go. Want me to run **Option 1** now (zero risk) to see how much it reclaims, and you decide on 2/3 after?

Both installed and verified. Done.
## ✅ Installed
| Tool | Version | Location |
|---|---|---|
| **dust** | 1.2.4 | on PATH (`dust`) |
| **dua** | 2.34.0 | on PATH (`dua`) |
Both came in via winget. PATH is live in new terminals (the WinGet Links dir is already registered).
## How to use them
**dust** — fire-and-forget tree (your quick SpaceSniffer glance):
```
dust -d 1 C:\Users\mikem # top level, one deep
dust -d 2 -r C:\ # whole C:, 2 levels, biggest first
dust -n 30 C:\Users\mikem\AppData\Local # top 30 entries
```
**dua** — interactive navigator (browse + mark + delete, the real SpaceSniffer replacement):
```
dua i C:\Users\mikem # arrow keys to walk in/out, 'd' marks for delete, 'x' deletes
dua C:\Users\mikem # non-interactive total
```
In `dua i`: Enter/→ to descend, ←/h to go up, `d` to mark, `Tab` to view marked, `x` to delete marked. Fast and parallel.
## What the scan already told us
Top real hogs in your profile (424 GB, minus the legacy-junction double-count):
- **AppData 201 GB** → Docker 57 (dormant WSL vdisk), Google/Chrome 32, Mesh/Phone-Link 26
- **Desktop 50 GB**, **CrossDevice 41 GB**, **.codex 29 GB**
- Dev caches: `.cache` 9, `.agent` 9, `.lmstudio` 9, `.seo-utils` 7, `mlx` 4.5, `go` 3.3, `.rustup` 1.2
Run `dua i C:\Users\mikem` and you can walk straight into Docker / CrossDevice / Mesh and reclaim space interactively.
Two scratch scan scripts are sitting at `D:\ClaudeDev\scan-c.ps1` and `scan-user.ps1` if you want them; otherwise you don't need them anymore, dust does the job. Want me to delete those?
