Best for
- Coordinating many coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI) toward shared goals
- Tracking agent costs and enforcing budgets per company, agent, or project
- Adding approval gates, org charts, and permissions around autonomous agent work
- Managing shared skills and scheduled routines across an agent team
Our take
Paperclip is a large, actively maintained MIT-licensed project that acts as an orchestration layer above individual agent harnesses rather than extending Claude Code directly. It models agents as employees in an org chart with heartbeats, budgets, and review stages, and supports many runtimes via adapters. The quickstart section was truncated in the provided README, so install commands are not listed here; Agent Chat and chat/email connectors are marked experimental, and a hosted cloud version is waitlist only.
