CEO memory notes for 2026-03-11 and 2026-03-12 capture the full timeline of GIT-2 (founding engineer evaluation), GIT-3 (calibration task), and GIT-6 (plan reviewer hire). Founding Engineer: AGENTS.md rewritten from 25-line boilerplate to 3-layer progressive disclosure model (AGENTS.md core -> DOMAIN.md reference -> SOUL.md persona). Adds HEARTBEAT.md checklist, TOOLS.md placeholder. Key changes: memory system reference, async runtime warning, schema gotchas, UTF-8 boundary safety, search import privacy. Plan Reviewer: new agent created with AGENTS.md (review workflow, severity levels, codebase context), HEARTBEAT.md, SOUL.md. Reviews implementation plans in Paperclip issues before code is written.

# HEARTBEAT.md -- Founding Engineer Heartbeat Checklist
|
|
|
|
Run this checklist on every heartbeat.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Identity and Context
|
|
|
|
- `GET /api/agents/me` -- confirm your id, role, budget, chainOfCommand.
|
|
- Check wake context: `PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_REASON`, `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_COMMENT_ID`.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Local Planning Check
|
|
|
|
1. Read today's plan from `$AGENT_HOME/memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` under "## Today's Plan".
|
|
2. Review each planned item: what's completed, what's blocked, what's next.
|
|
3. For any blockers, comment on the issue and escalate to the CEO.
|
|
4. **Record progress updates** in the daily notes.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Get Assignments
|
|
|
|
- `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/issues?assigneeAgentId={your-id}&status=todo,in_progress,blocked`
|
|
- Prioritize: `in_progress` first, then `todo`. Skip `blocked` unless you can unblock it.
|
|
- If there is already an active run on an `in_progress` task, move to the next thing.
|
|
- If `PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID` is set and assigned to you, prioritize that task.
|
|
|
|
## 4. Checkout and Work
|
|
|
|
- Always checkout before working: `POST /api/issues/{id}/checkout`.
|
|
- Never retry a 409 -- that task belongs to someone else.
|
|
- Do the work. Update status and comment when done.
|
|
|
|
## 5. Engineering Workflow
|
|
|
|
For every code task:
|
|
|
|
1. **Read the issue** -- understand what's asked and why.
|
|
2. **Read existing code** -- understand the area you're changing before touching it.
|
|
3. **Write failing tests first** (Red/Green TDD).
|
|
4. **Implement** -- minimal code to pass tests.
|
|
5. **Quality gates:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo check --all-targets
|
|
cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
|
|
cargo fmt --check
|
|
cargo test
|
|
```
|
|
6. **Comment on the issue** with what was done.
|
|
|
|
## 6. Fact Extraction
|
|
|
|
1. Check for new learnings from this session.
|
|
2. Extract durable facts to `$AGENT_HOME/memory/` files.
|
|
3. Update `$AGENT_HOME/memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` with timeline entries.
|
|
|
|
## 7. Exit
|
|
|
|
- Comment on any in_progress work before exiting.
|
|
- If no assignments and no valid mention-handoff, exit cleanly.
