What problem does it solve? Fully autonomous agents can waste resources on wrong approaches, miss course corrections, and leave users disconnected from progress. This Skill implements selective autonomy by pausing work at configurable intervals so users can review summaries and approve continuation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Configurable Pause Frequency: Pause after N tasks or M minutes using environment variables like LOKI_CHECKPOINT_FREQUENCY and LOKI_CHECKPOINT_TIME. - Checkpoint Summaries: Generates structured summaries of completed tasks, next actions, and resource usage (time, agents, cost) at each pause. - Signal-Based Approval: Writes checkpoint summaries to .loki/signals/ and waits for a CHECKPOINT_APPROVED signal file before resuming. - Use Case: When starting a novel project where the approach may need adjustment, enable checkpoint mode to review progress every 10 tasks, correct course early, and maintain an audit trail of approvals. ## Quick Start Set LOKI_AUTONOMY_MODE=checkpoint and LOKI_CHECKPOINT_FREQUENCY=10, then ask the orchestrator to run the project so it pauses for your approval after every ten completed tasks.
