SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates named, recurring multi-step workflows by encoding them as YAML routines in ~/.ftm/routines, reducing manual setup and repetitive steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Routines are YAML files stored in ~/.ftm/routines/ with steps that mix MCP tools, skills, and approvals
  • Supports automatic execution, review pauses, and explicit approvals before execution
  • Examples include morning-triage, deploy-checklist, new-hire-setup, and incident-response workflows

Quick Start

Create a YAML routine in ~/.ftm/routines/morning-triage.yml describing the steps, then invoke /ftm-routine morning-triage to execute it.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate recurring YAML workflows with approval gates?

You can automate recurring YAML workflows by defining multi-step routines in ~/.ftm/routines/ that combine MCP calls, skill invocations, and explicit approval gates before execution.

What are YAML routines for multi-step automation?

YAML routines are named workflow files stored in ~/.ftm/routines/ that encode daily triage, deployment checks, onboarding, and incident response steps to reduce manual setup.

How do I execute a named routine after creating the YAML file?

To execute a named routine, store the YAML file in ~/.ftm/routines/ and invoke it by name, such as /ftm-routine morning-triage, after the system validates available MCP tools and skills.

Does this routine automation tool validate MCP tools before execution?

Yes, routine automation validates available MCP tools and skills before execution, ensuring that all required components are accessible before running the multi-step YAML workflow.

Can I pause workflows for review during automatic execution?

Yes, YAML routines support automatic execution, review pauses, and explicit approvals before execution, allowing you to halt workflows at specific steps for manual verification.

What routine templates are supported for daily triage and incident response?

Supported routine examples include morning-triage, deploy-checklist, new-hire-setup, and incident-response workflows, all defined as YAML files combining MCP tools, skills, and approvals.
