Solo Developer

A one-agent setup for shipping code in a small repo without extra process.

Tested against paperclip 0.9
paperclip-company.yaml
company:
  name: "Solo Developer"
  mission: "Ship one repo with less busywork"

agents:
  - name: "Repo Helper"
    adapter: codex
    role: "software engineer"
    reports_to: board
    budget: "$25/month"

Prerequisites

  • Paperclip installed locally
  • A repo with clear readme and test commands
  • One coding adapter configured

Use this template

  1. Copy the config into your project as `paperclip-company.yaml`.
  2. Replace the repository goal and budget.
  3. Start with a planning or review task before asking for larger changes.

Why this template works

This is the lowest-risk Paperclip template. One agent means fewer coordination bugs and a much faster learning loop.

Best fit

Use this when you want:

  • implementation help
  • code review help
  • documentation cleanup

Do not use it when you already know you need routing, approval, or multi-stage workflows.
