SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Lobster integrates a local-first workflow runtime into OpenClaw so users can run repeatable, deterministic multi-step automations that may require human approval and resumable state, removing brittle ad-hoc scripting and manual orchestration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic typed pipelines: Executes JSON-first pipelines that produce structured envelopes rather than opaque text.
  • Approval gates & resumability: Pause for human approval with resume tokens to continue workflows safely.
  • Structured outputs: Always returns a JSON envelope (ok/status/output/requiresApproval) for reliable integration.
  • Security and host controls: Validates working directory, enforces timeout and stdout caps, and restricts executable selection to prevent RCE.
  • Use Cases: Email triage with approval before sending replies, scheduled monitoring and notifications, stateful syncs across tools.

Quick Start

Run a Lobster pipeline to triage recent emails and ask for approval before taking actions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Lobster

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build resumable automation workflows that pause for human approval?▼

Deterministic typed pipelines execute JSON-first steps that produce structured envelopes rather than opaque text, ensuring every automation output is predictable, typed, and ready for reliable downstream integration.

Can I automate email triage and require approval before sending replies?▼

Yes, email triage pipelines can be configured with approval checkpoints that pause the workflow before sending replies, issuing a resume token so you can review drafted actions and safely continue execution.

How do I execute secure CLI automations without risking remote code execution?▼

Secure CLI automations prevent remote code execution by validating the working directory, enforcing timeout and stdout size caps, and restricting executable selection through host-configurable binary validation.

What's the best way to run scheduled monitoring automations with structured outputs?▼

Scheduled monitoring automations run as deterministic pipelines that always return a structured JSON envelope with status and output fields, replacing brittle ad-hoc scripts with reliable stateful execution.

Do I need a specific runtime environment to run resumable JSON pipelines locally?▼

Resumable JSON pipelines run in a local-first environment without external dependencies, requiring only host configuration for the executable binary validation to ensure secure local subprocess execution.
