SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does Lobster solve?

Lobster provides deterministic multi-step workflows with built-in human approvals to coordinate multiple tools in a single run.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic multi-step pipelines with explicit approval gates to ensure safe automation.
  • Resume-capable workflows that pause for human input and continue when approved.
  • Seamless integration with the OpenClaw tool ecosystem to orchestrate complex tasks.

Quick Start

Run a simple pipeline and observe how an approval prompt pauses execution until you approve.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add human approval steps to deterministic automation workflows?

You can add human approval steps to deterministic automation workflows by building multi-step pipelines with explicit approval gates that pause execution until confirmed. Lobster enables safe, auditable automation by requiring human confirmation before proceeding to subsequent steps.

Can I resume a paused multi-step pipeline after giving approval?

Yes, you can resume a paused multi-step pipeline after providing approval using token-based resumes. Lobster supports resume-capable workflows that pause for human input and automatically continue execution once the required approval is granted.

What is the best way to orchestrate triage and bulk actions safely?

The best way to orchestrate triage and bulk actions safely is using deterministic pipelines with built-in approval prompts. Lobster coordinates multiple tools in a single run, ensuring each bulk action requires human confirmation before executing to maintain operational safety.

How do multi-step workflows handle integration with external tools and plugins?

Multi-step workflows handle external tool and plugin integration through the OpenClaw runtime. Lobster seamlessly integrates with the OpenClaw tool ecosystem to orchestrate complex tasks, allowing multiple tools to be coordinated within a single deterministic pipeline.

When do I need deterministic workflows with approval gates for automation?

You need deterministic workflows with approval gates for automation when executing sensitive operations like monitoring or bulk actions. Lobster ensures safe, auditable automation by pausing at explicit approval gates, preventing unreviewed actions from proceeding automatically.
