SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates multi-step workflows that require human approval before execution, ensuring controlled and repeatable processes for tasks like triaging, monitoring, and syncing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Repeatable Automation: Define and execute complex workflows reliably.
  • Approval Gates: Pause execution at critical steps for user confirmation.
  • Resumable Operations: Continue workflows after approval using a secure token.
  • Use Case: Automate the daily triage of incoming emails, with a human review step before any draft replies are sent.

Quick Start

Run the lobster skill to execute the email triage pipeline.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add human approval checkpoints to an automated workflow pipeline?

Workflows with approval gates pause execution at critical steps for user confirmation, ensuring controlled, repeatable automation for sensitive tasks like triaging, monitoring, and syncing.

How do I resume a paused workflow after granting approval?

Resumable operations use a secure token to continue workflow execution from the exact checkpoint where it was paused, ensuring deterministic state recovery after user approval.

What is a typed JSON-first pipeline for deterministic workflow execution?

A typed JSON-first pipeline structures multi-step automation tasks to ensure repeatable, predictable outcomes for operations like triaging and syncing by processing sequential steps deterministically.

Can I integrate external tools into a multi-step automation workflow?

You can integrate external tools into a multi-step automation workflow by using a clawd.invoke step to connect with other Clawdbot tools within the pipeline, extending functional capabilities.

What are the limitations of resumable workflow pipelines with approval gates?

Resumable pipelines with approval gates require a secure token to resume operations after pausing, meaning execution halts entirely until human confirmation is received, potentially delaying time-sensitive automated tasks.
