SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates complex, multi-step processes that require human oversight or repeatable execution, preventing manual errors and ensuring consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow Execution: Run predefined pipelines of actions.
  • Approval Gates: Pause execution for user confirmation before critical steps.
  • Resumable Operations: Continue interrupted workflows using a token.
  • Use Case: Automate the process of triaging incoming emails: search for new messages, classify them, and then present a summary for approval before sending any replies.

Quick Start

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

Frequently Asked Questions about Lobster Workflow

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a workflow pipeline with human approval steps?

Workflow pipelines with human approval steps are executed as typed JSON-first processes, pausing execution at designated gates to require user confirmation before proceeding with critical actions.

What is the best way to resume an interrupted automation pipeline?

Resuming an interrupted automation pipeline is handled through a resumable execution token, allowing the typed workflow to continue deterministic operations from the exact checkpoint where it was previously paused or stopped.

Can I use conditional execution for email triage automation?

Conditional execution for email triage automation is fully supported by running predefined pipelines that search for messages, classify content, and present summaries for user approval before sending replies.

Does this workflow automation tool require external dependencies?

This workflow automation tool requires no external dependencies to run typed pipelines, executing deterministic operations and structured output logging entirely standalone.

How do you run a pipeline command for monitoring and synchronization tasks?

Running a pipeline command for monitoring and synchronization tasks involves executing predefined pipeline actions, such as 'gog.gmail.search', to fetch and process data through structured, typed operations.

When should I not use automated pipelines for multi-step processes?

Automated pipelines for multi-step processes should not be used when operations require non-deterministic logic or lack structured JSON outputs, as this system relies on typed, repeatable execution for consistency.
