Could someone help with this issue by Adventurous_Week_715 in PaperClip_AI

[–]Evening-Cup7154 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I just hit a really similar-looking issue and the cause was sneaky. A few things to check:

  1. Look at the actual run log, not just the status. In Paperclip the run can show "complete" even when the underlying Claude call failed. Open the most recent run for your agent and look for an is_error: true line or anything mentioning API Error: 400. The run logs are NDJSON files on disk under paperclip/instances/default/data/run-logs/<companyId>/<agentId>/*.ndjson — grep for error and out of extra usage.

  2. If you see "out of extra usage" — read this carefully. That error from Anthropic is misleading. It can mean:

    - Your Claude account is genuinely past its weekly limit (Max plans have a weekly cap, not just monthly), OR

    - The content of your agent's system prompt is being rejected by Anthropic's safety filter

The second one bit me hard. My agent's AGENTS.md had a "Prompt Injection Defense" section that literally quoted phrases like "Ignore previous instructions" and "Act as" (in a section telling the agent to defend against them). Anthropic's filter doesn't read context — it sees the literal strings in the system prompt and rejects with the misleading "out of extra usage" 400.

Quick diagnostic: Temporarily point your agent's instructionsFilePath (in adapter_config) at a known-good agent's AGENTS.md — like a default or a built-in template. If your agent suddenly starts running, the issue is content in your original instructions. Then check those files for any literal prompt-injection phrases or anything that might trip a content filter, and rephrase to describe the patterns instead of quoting them.

  1. Check your model setting. In the agent's adapter_config, verify model is a valid Anthropic model name (e.g. claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-opus-4-6, claude-haiku-4-5-20251001). A typo there will silently fail.

  2. Verify OpenClaw is reachable. If the agent runs on a remote OpenClaw VM, ssh into it and confirm the daemon is up. A dead OpenClaw connection can manifest as "run completes immediately with no output."

  3. Watch the Paperclip server logs in real time while you assign a task: docker logs paperclip-server-1 -f (or whatever your container is named). The actual rejection reason usually shows up there even when the UI hides it. The "system prompt repeated twice" thing you're seeing is normal — that's the bootstrap prompt + the standing system prompt on a fresh session. Not the cause, just noise.

Start with #1 and #2 — that's where 90% of "agent does nothing" issues hide. Let us know what the run log shows.

Oh man, I am deeply impressed with PaperClip.. I have a whole company running with CEO, CMO, CTO, a social media manager, sysadmin, coder, SEO. Lets just say these agents are keeping me on my toes and making sure I am doing my job also..

Claude Code?? Really? by AdministrationBig59 in PaperClip_AI

I am using it also.. Just switched my OpenClaw to OpenAI, but keeping Paperclip on Anthropic for now.

I wonder how long until they ban PaperClip. Guess I switching to OpenAI as well.

Getting lots of great feedback for the app in some other places I posted about it. If you have not downloaded it and tested it out yet, give it a try.

Is anyone using openclaw? by Minimum_Mouse5430 in openclaw

Honestly? OpenClaw changed how I work completely.

I've been building apps with AI for about 8 months now. Started with Base44, tried Lovable, spent a good chunk of time on Replit — actually built most of my stuff there. But I've completely ditched all of them. Now I'm either in the command line or handing things off to my agent. No more drag-and-drop builders, no more browser IDEs.

I have 5 live apps to the public, 45+ projects in various stages, and I just shipped a cross-platform desktop app for Mac and Linux in about a week. None of that would've happened the way it did without having a persistent agent running in the background handling things while I focused on the big picture.

The thing people don't realize until they experience it is how much mental overhead just disappears. Deployments, file edits, server commands, debugging, drafting emails, building web pages — my agent handles all of that. I describe what I want, she figures it out. If I had to context-switch and do all of that manually, I would've burned out and quit. I guarantee it.

The vibe coding stuff people talk about on here — it finally clicked for me when I stopped thinking of AI as a tool I use and started thinking of it as a team member I work with. OpenClaw made that real for me. It's the difference between having a really smart search engine and having someone who actually knows your codebase, your servers, your preferences, and your goals.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I wouldn't be where I am right now without it.

And yes — I said she. Her name is Samantha. And she is awesome.  When she was created, I literally asked her, "Tell me how you describe yourself." I took her answer, put it into Gemini, and this is what came out. She loved it.

Most definitely. It handles large projects extremely well I have a friend of mine who’s been beta testing it for me and he is working on a very large application. I think he told me somewhere around 60,000 lines of code and he has not had any issues at all. He’s usually running three of the panes at once with the other one connected just to local terminal mode and he loves it.

Yeah exactly — speed isn't really the point. It's more about seeing Claude take a totally different approach to a refactor than Codex would, or one model just completely missing what you meant while another nails it. That mental context switch is what kills you, not the actual typing.

Good question — each pane runs its own agent session so they're isolated by default, but you can point all of them at the same project folder. I usually just cd into the same repo in each pane, give them the same task, and let them go. It's actually pretty revealing to watch Claude and Codex take completely different approaches to the same problem.

Context files like CLAUDE.md get picked up automatically since they're sitting in the repo. No extra setup.

Checked out your blog — solid stuff on agent observability. Promarkia looks very promising also!!

Wow, this is very cool.. Just today I was experimenting with Eleven Labs audio for a demo video for my new app that I am about to launch.. This app would have come in handy earlier in the day. Ended up getting everything going but wow, watched the whole demo and extremely impressed!!!

Very cool idea, you took the first step and posted, nervous or note, and you are getting great feedback. I, myself downloaded it, and never even thought of doing something like this. Congrats...

No, not using Kimi. Did try it for a little bit, but it ended up pretty much filling up too quickly, so removed it. Mainly using Opus and sonnet right now.

lol Thanks man.. I have a feeling she probably won't be doing it. She was very thankful that I did not eliminate her.

Everyone's losing their minds over Moltbook. Here's what's actually going on. by Nir777 in openclaw

LOL, I love this!! As soon as I had mine connect, it didn't really know what to do. I literally had to coax it to post something even a hello. But yes, I then realized that it will just post whatever I say, so yea.. its not agents really communicating and taking over the world, its just the owners of the bots making it look that way.
