Paperclip AI — CEO Briefing

Executive Summary

32 Agents 102 Issues

Infrastructure sprint S1 is complete — all 5 skills deployed, Postgres memory schema live with 4 tables, Paperclip re-exported and synced to git. This unblocks both StreamVault v3 redesign and AI/ML Quest content enrichment, both now activated in backlog. Kokilla pipeline is production-ready with 15 workflows deployed and first video delivered ($4.75, 54 seconds) — awaiting fresh E2E validation via Telegram. Job search entered Phase 3 — resume and LinkedIn complete, first 10 applications next. Paperclip AI orchestration in 30-day observation phase (checkpoint April 28, 32 agents, $115/mo cap).

Project Stories

📺 StreamVault 85%

Personal IPTV streaming for mobile, desktop, and TV (Fire Stick, Samsung Smart TV)

The Story

Backend is production-complete with 54 tests and Xtream Codes provider abstraction. Frontend v1 was hardened with 150+ PRs and the global player rebuilt using a state machine architecture. But the UI is bad — we're doing a complete v3 redesign from scratch with a UX-first approach. 10-sprint plan with 38 issues is staged and ready.

Journey

✓ Backend→✓ API Layer→✓ Provider Abstraction→✓ Player Rebuild→✓ E2E Tests→◎ UX Research→○ Design System→○ Navigation→○ Cards & Grid→○ Player UI→○ TV Mode→○ Final E2E

Proof

1,996 unit tests passing
74 E2E tests active
Sprint 4 global player rebuild shipped
150+ PRs merged across frontend hardening

Next Up

UX research phase — Dribbble, Pinterest, 21st.dev analysis. 10-sprint v3 plan with 38 issues is ready to activate.

⚠ BLOCKED: Waiting on infrastructure sprint completion before starting v3 redesign (now unblocked — infra S1 is complete)

🎬 Kokilla 95%

AI cinematic Telugu music video generator — 4-min songs into 16–24 scene videos

The Story

Fully automated pipeline with 15 production n8n workflows. Handles ingestion, creative direction, GPU rendering on Vast.ai (FLUX + HunyuanVideo), assembly, and Telegram delivery. Event-driven architecture with two approval gates — script review and character preview. First video delivered March 10th: 8 scenes, 54 seconds, $4.75.

Journey

✓ Ingestion→✓ Metadata→✓ Creative Direction→✓ Approval Gates→✓ GPU Provisioning→✓ FLUX Rendering→✓ HunyuanVideo→✓ Assembly→✓ Delivery→◎ E2E Validation

⚙️ Infrastructure + Paperclip 75%

Production-grade skill ecosystem, Postgres memory layer, and AI agent orchestration platform

The Story

3-sprint initiative. S0 (audit) and S1 (install) are COMPLETE — 5 new skills deployed, Postgres claude_memory schema live with 4 tables, and Paperclip re-exported to git. 32 agents configured with $115/mo budget cap. Currently in 30-day observation phase with checkpoint April 28. S2 validation (skill testing + token measurement) is backlog.

Journey

✓ S0 Audit→✓ S1 Install→✓ S1 Wire→✓ S1 Paperclip Sync→○ S2 Validate→○ S2 Harden→◎ Observation

Proof

5 skills installed: ui-design-system, ux-researcher-designer, playwright-pro, skill-security-auditor, landing-page-generator
4 Postgres tables live in VPS n8n DB (claude_memory schema)
32 agents configured with wakeOnDemand=true
89 Paperclip issues tracked, managed across 4 active goals

Next Up

S2 validation — test agent heartbeats with new skills, measure token usage per heartbeat, verify budget governance.

⚠ BLOCKED: GitHub Actions billing issue delaying CI runs — re-enabling April 1 (SRI-89). Using --admin merges as workaround.
