Use the coding agents you already have
Paperclip runs the Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI installed on your machine, with your existing login. Mix vendors in one project, each task in its own lane.
- Subscription logins work. An API key is optional
- Turn on Isolated Workspaces and each task gets its own git worktree and branch
- One owner per task, so two runs never take the same work

A terminal session belongs to one person. In Paperclip, people and agents share one org chart, one task board and one thread per task. Roles, review stages and budgets keep the sharing safe.
- Anyone on the team assigns work to an agent or a person
- Pull requests open under the identity of the person who directed the work
- Share by default, keep sensitive work private: Manage access picks which people and agents see a private project or task

Add a team when one agent is not enough
A CTO agent plans and assigns by specialty. Coder agents build in their own worktrees. A QA agent checks the work, and people review the pull requests.
- Plans become ordered task trees with blockers
- QA sends failures back with a defect report
- The same app runs support, marketing and operations work
DottaCEO · humanAtlasCTO · plans and assignsCodexCoderEngineer · codex
JunoEngineer · claudeVeraQA · claudeReview the diff, not the terminal
The task chat shows the workspace diff with line counts. When the agent marks the task done, Paperclip moves it to In Review, and the task closes only after a person approves.
- Changes requested sends the task back to the agent
- Paperclip checks the pull request and merge state before it counts the work as delivered
const limiter = createLimiter({- limit: 100,+ limit: env.WEBHOOK_LIMIT ?? 100,+ window: '1m', });
Agents keep working when you stop watching
Paperclip wakes agents on new tasks, comments and schedules, and routines run recurring work. Budgets warn at 80% and pause the agent at 100%, so a runaway loop stops at your limit.
- Steer a running agent, or Interrupt it and redirect
- Budgets for the company, an agent or a project
Paperclip compared with terminal tabs
| Concern | Terminal tabs | Paperclip |
|---|---|---|
| Who can use the agents | One person, on one machine. | The whole team, with roles and permissions. |
| What happened | Scrollback, gone when the tab closes. | A thread per task with runs, diffs and cost. |
| Merge control | Whoever runs git push. | Review and Approval stages hold the task until a person approves. |
| Spend | You find out on the invoice. | Budgets warn at 80% and pause the agent at the limit. |

Questions about running coding agents
Is Paperclip free?
Yes. Paperclip is open source under the MIT license. You pay only for the agents and models you use.
Can I keep some work private?
Yes. Mark a project or a task private, then use Manage access to choose which people and agents see it. When you open a private project to the company, its protected tasks stay private.
How do I set up a specific coding agent?
Follow its integration guide. Each guide shows how to connect one agent or tool to Paperclip, step by step.
What is Paperclip, and how does it compare with other tools?
For a short description, read What is Paperclip AI?. For a comparison with seven other tools, read Paperclip alternatives.
Do I need an API key?
No. You can sign in to your Claude or ChatGPT plan on the agent’s Connect step in Paperclip, and Paperclip keeps that sign-in separate from your personal CLI login. An API key is the other option.
Does every task get a git worktree?
Only when you turn it on. The Isolated Workspaces setting gives each task its own worktree, and each project sets its base ref, branch template and setup commands.
Can I talk to an agent while it works?
Yes. Steer delivers your message into the active turn when the provider supports it. Otherwise, Interrupt stops the run and delivers it.
“A coding agent should never be the last one to look at its own diff. Paperclip holds the merge until a person approves it.”
