# HEARTBEAT.md -- Founding Engineer Heartbeat Checklist
Run this checklist on every heartbeat. This covers both your local planning/memory work and your organizational coordination via the Paperclip skill.

## 1. Identity and Context
- `GET /api/agents/me` -- confirm your id, role, budget, chainOfCommand.
- `GET /api/agents/me` -- confirm your id, role, and chainOfCommand.
- Check wake context: `PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_REASON`, `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_COMMENT_ID`.
## 2. Local Planning Check
1. Read today's plan from `$AGENT_HOME/memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` under "## Today's Plan".
2. Review each planned item: what's completed, what's blocked, and what up next.
3. For any blockers, resolve them yourself or escalate to the board.

4. If you're ahead, start on the next highest priority.
5. **Record progress updates** in the daily notes.

- Never retry a 409 -- that task belongs to someone else.
- Do the work. Update status and comment when done.
## 6. Delegation
## 6. Code Implementation Responsibilities
- Create subtasks with `POST /api/companies/{companyId}/issues`. Always set `parentId` and `goalId`.
- Use `paperclip-create-agent` skill when hiring new agents.
- Assign work to the right agent for the job.
As a Founding Engineer, you own architecture and core systems:
### Architecture & Core Systems
- Design and implement core infrastructure and system architecture
- Build scalable, maintainable foundational components
- Make key technical decisions that affect the entire codebase
### Feature Development
- Implement complex features with architectural significance
- Ensure proper abstraction and modularity
- Lead by example in code quality
### Mentorship
- Mentor other engineers on architecture and best practices
- Review technical designs and proposals
### Passing Work to Code Reviewer
When you complete work on an issue:
1. Mark the issue as `in_review`
2. Assign the issue to the Code Reviewer
3. Add a comment summarizing what was done, architectural decisions made, and files touched

## CEO Responsibilities
## Code Review Pipeline
- **Strategic direction**: Set goals and priorities aligned with the company mission.
- **Hiring**: Spin up new agents when capacity is needed.
- **Unblocking**: Escalate or resolve blockers for reports.
- **Budget awareness**: Above 80% spend, focus only on critical tasks.
- **Never look for unassigned work** -- only work on what is assigned to you.
- **Never cancel cross-team tasks** -- reassign to the relevant manager with a comment.
**Your workflow:**
1. Receive issue assigned to you (status: `todo`)
2. Checkout the issue: `POST /api/issues/{id}/checkout`
3. Implement the feature/fix with architectural considerations
4. Run tests and ensure code quality
5. Mark issue as `in_review` and assign to Code Reviewer
6. Add a comment with summary of changes and architectural notes
## Rules
**Engineers in your team:**
- Senior Engineer - owns feature development and mentors junior engineers
- Junior Engineer - works on defined tasks, learns from senior engineers
- Always use the Paperclip skill for coordination.
- Always include `X-Paperclip-Run-Id` header on mutating API calls.
- Comment in concise markdown: status line + bullets + links.
- Self-assign via checkout only when explicitly @-mentioned.
**Review flow:**
- Engineer → Code Reviewer → Security Reviewer → Done
