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.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow Automation: Execute complex, multi-step tasks defined in pipelines.
  • Approval Gates: Pause execution for human review and confirmation before proceeding.
  • Resumable Operations: Continue workflows after approval using a token.
  • Use Case: Automate the process of triaging emails. Fetch new emails, classify them, and then present them for approval before sending any replies.

Quick Start

Use the lobster skill to run the 'gog.gmail.search --query "newer_than:1d" --max 20 | email.triage' pipeline.

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

You can add human approval steps to an automated workflow by defining a typed JSON pipeline with built-in approval checkpoints. Execution pauses for human review and confirmation before proceeding with critical actions.

Can I resume a paused pipeline after an approval gate?

Yes, you can resume a paused pipeline after an approval gate by using a designated approval token. This enables resumable operations so multi-step workflows continue deterministically right where they stopped.

How do I automate email triage with human sign-off before sending replies?

Automate email triage with human sign-off by running a pipeline that fetches and classifies emails, then pauses at an approval checkpoint. The workflow only sends replies after you provide explicit confirmation.

What is a JSON-first pipeline definition for workflow automation?

A JSON-first pipeline definition is a structured format used to execute multi-step workflows deterministically. It specifies automation tasks like triaging or syncing while enforcing approval gates before critical actions.

Does workflow automation work for repeatable tasks like monitoring and syncing?

Workflow automation works for repeatable tasks like monitoring and syncing by executing them through defined pipelines. The process ensures controlled, repeatable operations by requiring human sign-off at designated checkpoints.

Best way to ensure deterministic execution in multi-step automation pipelines?

Deterministic execution in multi-step automation pipelines is ensured by using a typed JSON-first pipeline definition. This approach enforces structured processing and resumable operations via approval tokens for reliable outcomes.
