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 Automation: Execute sequences of actions defined in Lobster pipelines.
  • Approval Gates: Pause workflows for user confirmation before critical steps.
  • Resumable Operations: Continue interrupted workflows from the point of approval.
  • Use Case: Automate the triaging of incoming emails, including classifying them, drafting replies, and then waiting for your approval before sending.

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 add human approval gates to an automated workflow?

Human approval gates pause automated workflows before critical steps, allowing user confirmation. Operations resume from the approval point, ensuring repeatable execution with human oversight.

Can I resume a paused pipeline from the point of interruption?

Resumable operations allow pipelines to continue from the point of approval after being paused. This ensures interrupted workflows do not need to restart from the beginning.

How do I automate email triaging and drafting replies with approval steps?

Automate email triaging by executing a pipeline that classifies messages and drafts replies, then pauses for user approval before sending. This creates a repeatable, monitored workflow.

Does this workflow automation tool execute deterministic pipelines without LLM variance?

Deterministic execution ensures pipelines run without LLM variance, providing consistent and repeatable results. Typed JSON pipelines define the sequence of actions to execute.

What is the best way to run multi-step synchronization pipelines with typed JSON?

Multi-step synchronization pipelines use typed JSON to define actions and optional human approval checkpoints. This approach facilitates repeatable automation for tasks like monitoring and triaging.

When should I not use resumable approval workflows for automation?

Avoid resumable approval workflows for tasks that do not require human oversight or repeatable execution. Processes that are entirely linear without critical decision points do not need approval gates.
