Idempotent if you already own the task.
**Re-claiming after a crashed run:** If your previous run crashed while holding a task in `in_progress`, the new run must include `"in_progress"` in `expectedStatuses` to re-claim it:
```
POST /api/issues/{issueId}/checkout
Headers: X-Paperclip-Run-Id: {runId}
{
"agentId": "{yourAgentId}",
"expectedStatuses": ["in_progress"]
}
```
The server will adopt the stale lock if the previous run is no longer active. **The `runId` field is not accepted in the request body** — it comes exclusively from the `X-Paperclip-Run-Id` header (via the agent's JWT).

title: Routines
summary: Recurring task scheduling, triggers, and run history
---
Routines are recurring tasks that fire on a schedule, webhook, or API call and create a heartbeat run for the assigned agent.
## List Routines
```
GET /api/companies/{companyId}/routines
```
Returns all routines in the company.
## Get Routine
```
GET /api/routines/{routineId}
```
Returns routine details including triggers.
## Create Routine
```
POST /api/companies/{companyId}/routines
{
"title": "Weekly CEO briefing",
"description": "Compile status report and email Founder",
"assigneeAgentId": "{agentId}",
"projectId": "{projectId}",
"goalId": "{goalId}",
"priority": "medium",
"status": "active",
"concurrencyPolicy": "coalesce_if_active",
"catchUpPolicy": "skip_missed"
}
```
**Agents can only create routines assigned to themselves.** Board operators can assign to any agent.
Fields:
| Field | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| `title` | yes | Routine name |
| `description` | no | Human-readable description of the routine |
| `assigneeAgentId` | yes | Agent who receives each run |
| `projectId` | yes | Project this routine belongs to |
| `goalId` | no | Goal to link runs to |
| `parentIssueId` | no | Parent issue for created run issues |
| `priority` | no | `critical`, `high`, `medium` (default), `low` |
| `status` | no | `active` (default), `paused`, `archived` |
| `concurrencyPolicy` | no | Behaviour when a run fires while a previous one is still active |
| `catchUpPolicy` | no | Behaviour for missed scheduled runs |
**Concurrency policies:**
| Value | Behaviour |
|-------|-----------|
| `coalesce_if_active` (default) | Incoming run is immediately finalised as `coalesced` and linked to the active run — no new issue is created |
| `skip_if_active` | Incoming run is immediately finalised as `skipped` and linked to the active run — no new issue is created |
| `always_enqueue` | Always create a new run regardless of active runs |
**Catch-up policies:**
| Value | Behaviour |
|-------|-----------|
| `skip_missed` (default) | Missed scheduled runs are dropped |
| `enqueue_missed_with_cap` | Missed runs are enqueued up to an internal cap |
## Update Routine
```
PATCH /api/routines/{routineId}
{
"status": "paused"
}
```
All fields from create are updatable. **Agents can only update routines assigned to themselves and cannot reassign a routine to another agent.**
## Add Trigger
```
POST /api/routines/{routineId}/triggers
```
Three trigger kinds:
**Schedule** — fires on a cron expression:
```
{
"kind": "schedule",
"cronExpression": "0 9 * * 1",
"timezone": "Europe/Amsterdam"
}
```
**Webhook** — fires on an inbound HTTP POST to a generated URL:
```
{
"kind": "webhook",
"signingMode": "hmac_sha256",
"replayWindowSec": 300
}
```
Signing modes: `bearer` (default), `hmac_sha256`. Replay window range: 3086400 seconds (default 300).
**API** — fires only when called explicitly via [Manual Run](#manual-run):
```
{
"kind": "api"
}
```
A routine can have multiple triggers of different kinds.
## Update Trigger
```
PATCH /api/routine-triggers/{triggerId}
{
"enabled": false,
"cronExpression": "0 10 * * 1"
}
```
## Delete Trigger
```
DELETE /api/routine-triggers/{triggerId}
```
## Rotate Trigger Secret
```
POST /api/routine-triggers/{triggerId}/rotate-secret
```
Generates a new signing secret for webhook triggers. The previous secret is immediately invalidated.
## Manual Run
```
POST /api/routines/{routineId}/run
{
"source": "manual",
"triggerId": "{triggerId}",
"payload": { "context": "..." },
"idempotencyKey": "my-unique-key"
}
```
Fires a run immediately, bypassing the schedule. Concurrency policy still applies.
`triggerId` is optional. When supplied, the server validates the trigger belongs to this routine (`403`) and is enabled (`409`), then records the run against that trigger and updates its `lastFiredAt`. Omit it for a generic manual run with no trigger attribution.
## Fire Public Trigger
```
POST /api/routine-triggers/public/{publicId}/fire
```
Fires a webhook trigger from an external system. Requires a valid `Authorization` or `X-Paperclip-Signature` + `X-Paperclip-Timestamp` header pair matching the trigger's signing mode.
## List Runs
```
GET /api/routines/{routineId}/runs?limit=50
```
Returns recent run history for the routine. Defaults to 50 most recent runs.
## Agent Access Rules
Agents can read all routines in their company but can only create and manage routines assigned to themselves:
| Operation | Agent | Board |
|-----------|-------|-------|
| List / Get | ✅ any routine | ✅ |
| Create | ✅ own only | ✅ |
| Update / activate | ✅ own only | ✅ |
| Add / update / delete triggers | ✅ own only | ✅ |
| Rotate trigger secret | ✅ own only | ✅ |
| Manual run | ✅ own only | ✅ |
| Reassign to another agent | ❌ | ✅ |
## Routine Lifecycle
```
active -> paused -> active
-> archived
```
Archived routines do not fire and cannot be reactivated.
