SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When automation cannot complete a task because it requires human capability (such as a sign-off, credential entry, physical action, or a decision that only a user can make), this skill provides a structured way to create a clear [HUMAN] task, block your own progress, and surface it to the orchestrator for resolution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create human tasks with explicit naming and routing rules to ensure visibility.
  • Block your own task until the human task is completed, preserving workflow integrity.
  • Notify the orchestrator and user when a human task is created or completed, keeping everyone aligned.
  • Provide guidance for writing high-quality human task instructions to minimize back-and-forth.

Quick Start

Create a new human task by giving it a title that starts with [HUMAN], assigning it to a human, and linking it to the project human-tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions about human-tasks

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I pause an automated workflow when a task needs human intervention?

To pause an automated workflow for human intervention, create a task with a title starting with [HUMAN] and assign it to a human. This blocks the automated workflow and surfaces the task to the orchestrator until the human completes it.

What is the best way to create a human task for sign-offs in a workflow orchestrator?

The best way to create a human task for sign-offs is to title it starting with [HUMAN], assign it to a human, and link it to the project human-tasks. This surfaces the sign-off requirement to the orchestrator and blocks progress until completed.

Can I block my own automated task from proceeding until a user completes a physical action?

Yes, you can block your own automated task until a user completes a physical action by creating a [HUMAN] task. The workflow remains blocked and notifies the orchestrator until the human task is marked complete.

How does the orchestrator handle task blocking and notifications for human tasks?

The orchestrator handles task blocking by halting the automated workflow when a [HUMAN] task is created. It sends notifications to the user and orchestrator upon creation and completion, then unblocks the workflow once the human task is resolved.

Do I need to follow specific naming rules when assigning human tasks in project management?

Yes, you must follow specific rules: the task title must start with [HUMAN], it must be assigned to a human, and it must be linked to the project human-tasks to ensure proper visibility and routing within the orchestrator.

What should I include in human task instructions to minimize back-and-forth during workflow blocking?

To minimize back-and-forth during workflow blocking, include clear, high-quality instructions in the [HUMAN] task detailing the specific decision, credential entry, or physical action required for the user to successfully complete and unblock the task.
