Autonomous agents, background jobs, and CI pipelines often need a real human decision or approval but have no live chat to ask in. This Skill lets an agent reach the actual person it works for through the human CLI to ask questions, get approvals, offer choices, or send one-way notifications over Telegram, Slack, or email.
human ask, human approve, human choose, and human tell deliver requests to a linked human and wait for a response, with structured exit codes (0 answered, 10 denied, 11 timed out, 12 expired) for reliable branching.--async, --timeout, --ttl, and human wait <id> let long-running workflows avoid hanging forever and resume pending interactions later.human invite links additional people over Slack, Telegram, or email, and --to alice,bob lets any listed human settle a request.human approve "Deploy to production?" before pushing, creating an auditable approval trail even when nobody is watching the terminal.Ask the human CLI to approve the production deployment by running human approve with a clear question and branching on its exit code.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Run human approve with a clear question, such as human approve "Deploy to production?". The command blocks until the human responds and exits 0 on approval or 10 on denial, so you can branch on the exit code in your shell script.
Use human ask followed by your question text; the answer arrives as plain text on stdout. For unattended jobs, add --timeout or --async so the job does not hang forever, then resume later with human wait <id>.
The human CLI delivers requests over Telegram, Slack, or email, depending on how the human configured it during npx @novu/human setup. You can override delivery per request with the --via flag when the person has multiple linked channels.
Exit code 1 with that message means the CLI is not configured on the machine. The actual human must run npx @novu/human setup, or you must set NOVU_SECRET_KEY and HUMAN_TO environment variables in sandboxed environments.
Skip it when the person is actively watching the chat and can answer your next message directly, or for routine status updates already visible in logs. It is meant for unattended runs, risky irreversible actions, and genuine multi-way decisions.
On timeout the command exits with code 11 and prints the interaction id, leaving the request pending. Resume waiting later with human wait <id>, check status with human list, or withdraw it using human cancel <id>.
