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, reducing manual effort and ensuring consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow Execution: Run predefined pipelines of commands and tools.
  • Approval Gates: Pause execution for human review and approval before proceeding.
  • Resumable Operations: Continue workflows from a paused state using a token.
  • Use Case: Automate the process of triaging incoming emails. The workflow can search for new emails, classify them, and then pause for your approval before sending replies or taking action.

Quick Start

Run the 'gog.gmail.search --query "newer_than:1d" --max 20 | email.triage' pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions about Lobster Workflow

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate multi-step workflows with approval gates before critical actions?

Multi-step workflows with approval gates are executed using typed JSON pipelines that pause for human review before critical actions. This ensures deterministic automation for tasks like email triage while maintaining human oversight.

Can I pause and resume a pipeline execution using a token?

Yes, pipeline execution can pause for human approval and resume from that exact state using a token. This resumable operation allows workflows to continue safely after receiving explicit approval.

How do I run an email triage pipeline that pauses before sending replies?

You can run an email triage pipeline by chaining commands, such as using 'gog.gmail.search' to fetch emails and passing them to 'email.triage' to classify before pausing for approval.

Does Lobster Workflow integrate with OpenClaw tools?

Yes, Lobster Workflow integrates with OpenClaw tools by using an 'openclaw.invoke' step within the JSON pipelines. This allows you to call external tools directly during workflow execution.

What is the best way to handle deterministic automation for synchronization tasks?

Deterministic automation for synchronization tasks is handled by defining repeatable JSON pipelines that execute predefined commands. This approach reduces manual effort and ensures consistent execution.

When do I need human approval checkpoints in an automated workflow?

Human approval checkpoints are needed in automated workflows before critical actions like sending replies or taking irreversible actions. They halt execution to allow review, ensuring safe operations.
