About this codebase
Paperclip is the app people use to manage AI agents for work: it indexes an organization of agents by orchestrating identity, task execution, and tool access through a control-plane pipeline that consumes agent heartbeats and tool/runtime requests and produces governable org runs, audit-traced tool invocations, and UI-visible outcomes for teams managing autonomous work. Built for teams who need autonomous AI organizations—coordinating many agents toward common goals, running autonomously 24/7 with auditability, and monitoring costs—Paperclip lets you manage your autonomous businesses from your phone.
Written by gpt-5.4-nano from the index
5,936 files and 45,805 symbols in 13 modules, led by TypeScript (4,536 files) and JavaScript (203).
Code health
This codebase scores 6.8 out of 10 for code health, which we rate fair. It also scores maintainability 8.1 and static performance 9.6 out of 10. The three are scored separately and never blended into one number. Risk is concentrated, as it usually is: 548 of 5,936 files are git hotspots, and they average 4.5 — which is where the fixes pay off most.

Worth planning
Delete 13 unused symbols and files (97 lines)
Nothing in the graph reaches them, across 8 files; every reader and agent pays to skip them.

Small effort
Improve what Repowise can see
Add a test coverage report
Without one, Repowise cannot tell tested code from untested code, so every test-related action says “unknown”.
- line coverage
- Unknown, no report
Small effortReview the 38 proposed decisions
None is accepted yet, so nothing can drift from one and agents get no enforced guidance from them.

Use paperclipai/paperclip in your agent
Point Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or VS Code at this repository. Your agent gets the index this page is built from: cited answers, callers, history and health for any file.
https://api.repowise.dev/mcp/paperclipai/paperclipOne command, run anywhere. Adds the server to your local Claude Code config.
Docsclaude mcp add --transport http repowise https://api.repowise.dev/mcp/paperclipai/paperclip \ --header "Authorization: Bearer rw_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
This repo is public, so anyone with a Repowise account and an API key can connect.
Try asking
- get_overview()
- get_answer("how is paperclip put together?")
- get_why("why is paperclip structured this way?")
Prefer local? pip install repowise && repowise init indexes your own checkout, no account needed.

The open-source app everyone uses to manage agents at work This page is a map of the paperclipai/paperclip repository, written primarily in TypeScript, rebuilt from the source each time it is indexed. Repowise parses every symbol, computes a dependency graph, scores per-file code health from complexity, duplication, test coverage and churn, mines git history for hotspots and ownership, and lifts the architectural decisions into documentation you can read here or query through MCP.
The codebase has 5,936 files and 45,805 symbols in 13 modules, led by TypeScript, JavaScript and Rust. Code health is 6.8 out of 10, rated fair.
