Q: What does the approval gate return after a user decision?

The approval gate returns a structured object containing an approved field (true/false) and optional feedback field, enabling downstream steps to branch on user consent and capture revision notes.

Q: When should I use a workflow approval gate instead of proceeding directly?

Use an approval gate when validating remediation plans, technical directions, or implementation approaches after analysis—any major workflow step where explicit user consent reduces risk before execution.

Q: Does the approval gate work with existing analysis Skills like audit and build?

Yes, the approval gate integrates as a generic gate applied after analysis Skills such as audit, build, architect, or debug to validate their outputs before proceeding with implementation.

Question 1

How do I add an approval gate to my workflow before executing plans?

Accepted Answer

An approval gate presents your plan or summary to users and requests explicit confirmation before proceeding. It's applied after analysis steps like audit, build, or debug to validate directions, then returns approved status and optional feedback for next steps.

Question 2

Can I skip approval for simple tasks automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the approval gate auto-approves low-complexity tasks (complexity < 15) when fast-path is enabled or when prompts contain 'do without approval' or 'just do it', streamlining workflows for straightforward work.
