SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Blockers and progress information can slip in autonomous execution, leading to stalled loops and unclear status. This Skill provides a simple, reliable channel to report blockers or progress directly to the orchestrator, reducing delays and miscommunication.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Blocker alerts: instantly notify the orchestrator when progress cannot continue due to missing credentials, dependencies, or external failures.
  • Progress updates: periodically report task status to maintain situational awareness and coordinate next steps.
  • Review requests: flag when code or outcomes require human validation or approval before proceeding.

Quick Start

Issue a message to the orchestrator with nancy msg <type> "<message>" to communicate blockers, progress, or review requests.
