# Central AI Hub — AI Agent Runbook > **Writing Style**: ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English (`ste-writing`). ## Phase 1 — Prove the Paperclip Round Trip This phase has no Hub code. It proves the missing link: a job that leaves and a result that returns. ### Steps 1. Create a Paperclip agent API key for this project. - Paperclip board: `http://192.168.20.13:3100`. - Store the key in `~/.config/environment.d/10-secrets.conf` as `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY`. Never commit it. 2. File one job with `curl`. Use the issue-create endpoint. 3. Confirm the job appears in the Paperclip board. 4. Wait for the agent to close the job. 5. Send the result to Jervis `POST /announce` so the house speaks it. 6. Record the result in this file. ### Commands ```bash export PAPERCLIP_API_KEY= curl -s -X POST http://192.168.20.13:3100/api/issues \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"title":"round-trip test","description":"prove the return path"}' # Speak the result. curl -s -X POST http://192.168.20.13:8501/announce \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"text":"Round trip works."}' ``` ### Definition of Done - The job appears in Paperclip. - The job closes. - The house speaks the result. - This file records the result. ## After Phase 1 Follow the build order in `AGENTS.md`. Do not start a destination before the round trip works. ## Health Checks ```bash curl -s http://192.168.20.13:3100/health # Paperclip curl -s http://192.168.20.13:8501/health # Jervis curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' http://192.168.20.30:8123/ # HA ```
