SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @clawdbot/lobster, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates complex, multi-step workflows that require human approval, allowing you to streamline processes and reduce manual intervention.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Step Workflows: Executes a series of actions, each potentially requiring human approval.
  • Approval Checkpoints: Introduces points in the workflow where human confirmation is needed before proceeding.
  • Use Case: Ideal for automating email triage processes, where certain actions require approval from a supervisor before execution.

Quick Start

Run the workflow: gog.gmail.search --query 'newer_than:1d' --max 20 | email.triage

Frequently Asked Questions about Lobster

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate multi-step workflows that require human approval before proceeding?▼

Multi-step workflows with human approval are automated by inserting conditional verification checkpoints into a deterministic task execution pipeline, pausing operations until a human confirms the next action.

What is the best way to automate an email triage process with supervisor verification?▼

Email triage with supervisor verification is handled by piping email search results into a triage workflow, using approval checkpoints to require human confirmation before executing sensitive actions on the messages.

Does this workflow automation approach support resumable approvals if a task is interrupted?▼

Resumable approvals are supported through a JSON-first pipeline approach, allowing interrupted multi-step workflows to pause at human verification checkpoints and resume execution seamlessly once confirmation is granted.

Do I need any specific dependencies to run typed pipelines for task execution?▼

Executing typed pipelines requires the @clawdbot/lobster dependency to manage the deterministic execution flow and process the JSON-first data structures used for resumable approval checkpoints.

Can I execute a Gmail search and pass the results directly into an automated triage workflow?▼

Executing a Gmail search and passing results into a triage workflow is supported by piping a Gmail search command with specific query parameters directly into the email triage action for processing.

When should I use approval checkpoints in automated task execution?▼

Approval checkpoints should be used in task execution when deterministic workflows require conditional human verification, ensuring that critical or sensitive steps receive manual confirmation before the pipeline proceeds.
