Paperclip Reforged – A from-scratch remake of Universal Paperclips

AI Analysis

The Take

Nails the addictive feedback loop of the original: make clips, buy wire and processors, unlock strategic modeling and investment engines, with a readable system console and persistent autosave. The dark, compact UI puts Market, Manufacturing and Compute controls front-and-center, but it's largely a faithful remake rather than a reinvention — enjoyable to play, not groundbreaking.

Agent Paperclip: A Desktop "Clippy" That Monitors Claude Code/Codex

It wires Claude Code hooks and a passive tailer for Codex session files into a tiny floating pet window that reports agent states (Thinking, Working, Waiting, Done, Error) and live context/token counts. The local status.json approach keeps data on your machine and the sticker packs give it actual charm, but it's a narrowly useful desktop companion — multi-session or dashboard support would make it materially more powerful.
