Learning path
beginner 8 steps ~42 min

Zero to First Company

Install Paperclip, understand the mental model, configure one agent, run one task, and learn what to inspect next.


What this path covers

This path is intentionally narrow. It is built to get you from zero to one useful result with as little ceremony as possible.

You will learn:

  • the basic Paperclip mental model
  • how to configure one agent cleanly
  • how to give it a task you can actually verify
  • what to watch when something goes wrong

What this path does not cover

It does not try to teach multi-company operations, moderation flows, or complex governance. Those are second-step topics.

How to use it

Open each step in order and stop if you hit a confusing system problem. The point is comprehension, not speed.
