SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates multi-step processes that require human approval before execution, ensuring controlled and repeatable workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow Automation: Execute sequences of commands and tool calls as a single, deterministic operation.
  • Approval Gates: Pause workflows at critical junctures, presenting prompts and items for user approval before proceeding.
  • Resumable Operations: Continue interrupted workflows using a resume token, maintaining state across steps.
  • Use Case: Automate the process of triaging 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 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 add human approval checkpoints to an automated workflow pipeline?

You can add human approval checkpoints to an automated workflow pipeline by using a system that pauses execution at critical junctures to present items for user review before proceeding. This ensures controlled, repeatable operations with optional human intervention.

How do I resume an interrupted automation workflow from a specific step?

You can resume an interrupted automation workflow by using a resume token that maintains state across steps. This resumable operation capability allows the pipeline to continue exactly where it left off after pausing for approval or being interrupted.

What is the best way to automate email triage with draft approval before sending?

Automating email triage with draft approval involves running a multi-step workflow that fetches new emails, classifies them into categories like 'needs reply' or 'FYI', and presents a summary for approval before sending any draft replies.

Can I integrate external tool calls within a JSON-first pipeline system?

Yes, you can integrate external tool calls within a JSON-first pipeline system by using an invoke step. This allows the workflow to execute sequences of commands and tool calls as a single, deterministic operation while maintaining the pipeline structure.

Do I need any external dependencies to run resumable workflow automations?

No external dependencies are required to run resumable workflow automations. The system operates independently using scripts and references, allowing you to execute deterministic multi-step workflows with approval gates without additional packages.
