SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

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

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow Automation: Execute predefined sequences of actions using a typed, JSON-first pipeline.
  • Approval Gates: Pause workflows at critical junctures, presenting specific prompts for user approval before proceeding.
  • Resumable Operations: Continue interrupted workflows using a secure token, ensuring no progress is lost.
  • Use Case: Automate the triaging of incoming emails. Fetch new emails, classify them into categories like 'Needs Reply' or 'FYI', and then present a summary for approval before sending any draft replies.

Quick Start

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

Do I need to install any dependencies to run typed workflow pipelines?▼

Yes, running typed workflow pipelines requires the 'lobster' executable to be available in your system's PATH to execute the JSON pipelines and manage approval gates.

Can I use workflow automation scripts for data synchronization and monitoring?▼

Yes, workflow automation scripts support data synchronization and monitoring by executing deterministic, multi-step pipelines that can pause for human oversight and resume securely.
