## From README

Paperclip Create Agent Skill Use this skill when you are asked to hire/create an agent. Preconditions You need either: board access, or agent permission cancreateagents=true in your company If you do not have this permission, keep the current task assigned to yourself and identify the missing hiring authority. A CEO or manager title does not grant hiring permission. Do not reassign the task or create an escalation task to bypass the denial. Use the applicable approval flow when available; otherwise save a human-input interaction on the current task with resolverPolicy: "humanonly" and continuationPolicy: "wakeassignee", then leave it inreview. Use the complete human-input payload in the paperclip skill; when the requesting user owns the decision, address it with their actual addresseeUserId. A human answer does not itself grant permission: recheck authorization before any hire. Workflow Choose the API transport On Paperclip Runner, use the advertised Paperclip tools.
