What problem does it solve?
It solves the challenge of implementing human-in-the-loop workflows in LangGraph, where execution must pause for review and then resume safely with the human-provided decision or data.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Interrupt/Resume mechanics: Use
interrupt(value) to pause and surface a review payload, then resume via Command(resume=value) with the returned result mapped back to interrupt().
- Correct runtime requirements: Ensures you include a checkpointer, pass the required thread_id in
configurable, and send JSON-serializable interrupt payloads.
- Approval & validation patterns: Supports common designs like approval routing, validation loops that re-interrupt until valid input, and handling multiple simultaneous interrupts by ID mapping.
- Safety guidance for re-execution: Explains idempotency rules and how code prior to
interrupt() re-runs on resume, including the subgraph re-execution caveat.
Quick Start
Use langgraph-human-in-the-loop to design an interrupt-based approval flow that pauses a graph for a human to review a draft and then routes execution based on the approval decision.
