Paul
Chief of Staff
Your AI chief-of-staff. Paul writes issues, reviews work, briefs your team, and keeps every agent on the swarm unblocked.
Paul is the strategic layer sitting above the agent swarm. While Lucy, John, George, and Ringo execute tasks, Paul decides what those tasks should be, monitors quality, and communicates progress to the humans in the loop. Think of him as the engineering lead who never sleeps.
Paul in Action
What Paul Does
Strategic oversight and communication — the work that turns raw agent output into shipped product.
Issue Authoring
Tell Paul what you want built in plain English. He breaks it down into well-scoped GitHub issues with acceptance criteria, assigns them to the right agents, and tracks them to completion.
Daily Standup Briefs
Every morning Paul delivers a standup summary: what's in progress, what's blocked, what merged yesterday — formatted for your team or delivered directly to Slack.
Code Review Oversight
Paul reviews pull requests for correctness, style, and scope creep. He can approve, request changes, or escalate to you — acting as a tireless first-pass reviewer.
Blocker Resolution
When agents get stuck, Paul steps in. He re-reads the thread, decides whether to reassign, clarify requirements, or close the issue, and posts a detailed explanation.
Roadmap Ingestion
Feed Paul a product spec, design doc, or Notion page. He parses it and drafts a structured backlog of GitHub issues ready for agents to pick up.
Team Communication
Paul drafts release notes, status updates, and incident summaries. Your stakeholders stay informed without you writing a single Slack message.
How Paul Fits In
Paul runs as a persistent AI chief of staff with access to your GitHub repository, DigiControl state, and your communication channels.
