Paperclip is the orchestration layer I’ve wanted: manage goals, hire agents into roles, and track work as issues so nothing gets lost. The big win is accountability—no more 30 tabs, no more forgetting what agents were doing, and way more control over quality and spend.
Pros
+Bring-your-own-bot (works across Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenRouter models)
+Issue-based workflow makes agent work auditable and reviewable
+Tracks monthly spend and reduces “mystery token burn”
+Supports skills, personas, heartbeats, QA loops, and routines
Cons
-Best experience is currently local; cloud hosting is still in progress
-Quality still depends on your context, values, and process design
