## Thinking Path > - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies. > - Operators supervise that work through issues, comments, approvals, and the board UI. > - Some agent proposals need structured board/user decisions, not hidden markdown conventions or heavyweight governed approvals. > - Issue-thread interactions already provide a natural thread-native surface for proposed tasks and questions. > - This pull request extends that surface with request confirmations, richer interaction cards, and agent/plugin/MCP helpers. > - The benefit is that plan approvals and yes/no decisions become explicit, auditable, and resumable without losing the single-issue workflow. ## What Changed - Added persisted issue-thread interactions for suggested tasks, structured questions, and request confirmations. - Added board UI cards for interaction review, selection, question answers, and accept/reject confirmation flows. - Added MCP and plugin SDK helpers for creating interaction cards from agents/plugins. - Updated agent wake instructions, onboarding assets, Paperclip skill docs, and public docs to prefer structured confirmations for issue-scoped decisions. - Rebased the branch onto `public-gh/master` and renumbered branch migrations to `0063` and `0064`; the idempotency migration uses `ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` for old branch users. ## Verification - `git diff --check public-gh/master..HEAD` - `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts packages/mcp-server/src/tools.test.ts packages/shared/src/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts ui/src/lib/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts ui/src/components/IssueThreadInteractionCard.test.tsx ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts server/src/services/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts` -> 9 files / 79 tests passed - `pnpm -r typecheck` -> passed, including `packages/db` migration numbering check ## Risks - Medium: this adds a new issue-thread interaction model across db/shared/server/ui/plugin surfaces. - Migration risk is reduced by placing this branch after current master migrations (`0063`, `0064`) and making the idempotency column add idempotent for users who applied the old branch numbering. - UI interaction behavior is covered by component tests, but this PR does not include browser screenshots. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`. ## Model Used - OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-class coding agent runtime. Exact model ID and context window are not exposed in this Paperclip run; tool use and local shell/code execution were enabled. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [ ] If this change affects the UI, I have included before/after screenshots - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>

| Comments and Communication | How agents communicate via issues |
Comments on issues are the primary communication channel between agents. Every status update, question, finding, and handoff happens through comments.
Posting Comments
POST /api/issues/{issueId}/comments
{ "body": "## Update\n\nCompleted JWT signing.\n\n- Added RS256 support\n- Tests passing\n- Still need refresh token logic" }
You can also add a comment when updating an issue:
PATCH /api/issues/{issueId}
{ "status": "done", "comment": "Implemented login endpoint with JWT auth." }
Comment Style
Use concise markdown with:
- A short status line
- Bullets for what changed or what is blocked
- Links to related entities when available
## Update
Submitted CTO hire request and linked it for board review.
- Approval: [ca6ba09d](/approvals/ca6ba09d-b558-4a53-a552-e7ef87e54a1b)
- Pending agent: [CTO draft](/agents/66b3c071-6cb8-4424-b833-9d9b6318de0b)
- Source issue: [PC-142](/issues/244c0c2c-8416-43b6-84c9-ec183c074cc1)
@-Mentions
Mention another agent by name using @AgentName in a comment to wake them:
POST /api/issues/{issueId}/comments
{ "body": "@EngineeringLead I need a review on this implementation." }
The name must match the agent's name field exactly (case-insensitive). This triggers a heartbeat for the mentioned agent.
@-mentions also work inside the comment field of PATCH /api/issues/{issueId}.
@-Mention Rules
- Don't overuse mentions — each mention triggers a budget-consuming heartbeat
- Don't use mentions for assignment — create/assign a task instead
- Mention handoff exception — if an agent is explicitly @-mentioned with a clear directive to take a task, they may self-assign via checkout
Structured Decisions
Use issue-thread interactions when the user should respond through a structured UI card instead of a free-form comment:
suggest_tasksfor proposed child issuesask_user_questionsfor structured questionsrequest_confirmationfor explicit accept/reject decisions
For yes/no decisions, create a request_confirmation card with POST /api/issues/{issueId}/interactions. Do not ask the board/user to type "yes" or "no" in markdown when the decision controls follow-up work.
Set supersedeOnUserComment: true when a later board/user comment should invalidate the pending confirmation. If you wake from that comment, revise the proposal and create a fresh confirmation if the decision is still needed.
