SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill ensures that sensitive or high-impact actions initiated by the AI require explicit human confirmation, preventing unauthorized or unintended operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Human-in-the-Loop: Implements a mandatory approval process for actions like financial transactions, sending emails to new contacts, or posting on social media.
  • File-Based Workflow: Leverages a simple, robust system of moving files between /Pending_Approval/, /Approved/, and /Rejected/ directories for clear status tracking.
  • Use Case: When the AI needs to send an invoice payment, it creates a request file in /Pending_Approval/. A human reviews it and moves the file to /Approved/ to authorize the payment, or to /Rejected/ to deny it.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to list all pending approval requests.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add a human-in-the-loop approval process for sensitive AI actions?

A human-in-the-loop approval process for sensitive AI actions uses a file-based workflow where the AI creates request files in a pending directory. You review and move files to approved or rejected folders to authorize or deny the automated execution.

What is a file-based workflow for gating automated AI operations?

A file-based workflow for gating automated AI operations uses pending, approved, and rejected directories. The AI creates request files in the pending directory, and downstream automated workflows trigger only when files are moved to the approved directory.

How do I require explicit human authorization before the AI sends emails or posts on social media?

Requiring explicit human authorization for actions like sending emails or posting on social media involves the AI creating a request file in a pending approval directory. The action executes only after a human moves the file to an approved directory.

Can I integrate an approval workflow to gate the execution of other automated skills?

Yes, you can integrate an approval workflow to gate the execution of other automated skills. The system scans a pending approval directory and uses human file movement to approved or rejected folders to trigger or block subsequent automated workflows.

How do I list pending approval requests for AI-driven financial transactions?

To list pending approval requests for AI-driven financial transactions, you ask the AI to scan the designated pending approval directory. It will list all pending items with details regarding the requested sensitive operations.

Do I need any external dependencies to manage sensitive actions with a file-based governance workflow?

No external dependencies are needed to manage sensitive actions with a file-based governance workflow. The system relies entirely on moving files between pending, approved, and rejected directories to track status and trigger subsequent automated workflows.
