SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates multi-step processes, allowing for human approval at critical junctures, ensuring control over actions with potential side effects.

Core Features & Use Cases

Workflow Execution: Run predefined sequences of commands and tool calls.
Approval Gates: Pause execution and require user confirmation before proceeding with sensitive actions.
Resumable Operations: Continue workflows after an approval using a unique token.
Use Case: Automate the process of triaging emails: search for new messages, classify them, and then ask for approval before sending any replies.

Quick Start

Run the 'gog.gmail.search --query "new_emails" --max 5' pipeline and then triage the results.

FAQPage Schema

How do I add human approval checkpoints to CLI automation pipelines?▼

You can add human approval checkpoints to CLI automation pipelines by defining typed JSON-first workflows that pause execution at require explicit user consent before proceeding with sensitive actions. This ensures deterministic, repeatable automation with human oversight.

How do I resume a multi-step workflow after an approval gate?▼

You can resume a multi-step workflow after an approval gate by providing a unique resumption token. The pipeline continues execution from the exact checkpoint where it paused, enabling stateful monitoring of long-running processes.

What is a JSON-first pipeline for scheduled tasks?▼

A JSON-first pipeline for scheduled tasks is a structured automation sequence that uses a JSON envelope for status and output. It executes typed commands via a command-line interface, ensuring deterministic and repeatable results for stateful monitoring.

Do I need any external dependencies to run typed workflows with subprocesses?▼

You do not need any external dependencies to run typed workflows with subprocesses. The Skill operates independently with zero dependencies, integrating with existing tools directly via the command-line interface.

Can I integrate existing command-line tools into a multi-step automation workflow?▼

You can integrate existing command-line tools into a multi-step automation workflow by defining them as subprocess steps within the pipeline. The system executes these tool calls sequentially while maintaining stateful monitoring and JSON status envelopes.
