SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Lobster executes multi-step workflows with approval checkpoints, enabling repeatable automation and safe, auditable tool orchestration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic pipelines: same input yields the same output, with explicit approvals before actions that may have side effects.
  • Approval gates: insert human-in-the-loop checkpoints to confirm actions across multiple tools.
  • Resumable workflows: pipelines can be paused and resumed using a resume token, preserving state across sessions.

Quick Start

Run a multi-step pipeline such as gog.gmail.search --query 'newer_than:1d' | email.triage to observe deterministic behavior with integrated approvals.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add human approval gates to automated multi-step workflows?

Multi-step workflows use approval gates to insert human-in-the-loop checkpoints, confirming actions before any side effects occur. This ensures deterministic execution by requiring explicit approval at each stage.

Can I pause and resume a deterministic pipeline across different sessions?

Deterministic pipelines can be paused and resumed using a resume token. This token preserves workflow state across sessions, allowing safe and auditable runs to continue exactly where they stopped.

What are deterministic pipelines and when do I need them for task orchestration?

Deterministic pipelines guarantee that the same input yields the exact same output. They are needed for orchestrating tool calls and triage processes where repeatable automation and auditable execution are required.

How do I orchestrate tool calls across multiple plugins with safe execution?

Tool calls across multiple plugins are orchestrated using structured envelopes and timeouts. This governs the execution safely, ensuring deterministic behavior and coordinated actions across the integrated tools.

Does Lobster work without external dependencies for triage and monitoring workflows?

Lobster operates with no external dependencies, coordinating triage and monitoring workflows natively. It applies structured envelopes and approval gates to ensure deterministic execution without requiring additional packages.
