What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of choosing and composing the correct multi-step Houmao workflow pattern for tasks that require coordinated mailbox, gateway, notifier, and loop behavior instead of a single direct action.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Self-notification routing: choose between gateway reminders and self-mail backlog so an agent can schedule future work without losing intent.
  • Notifier-prompt-driven mail loops: build bounded on-event mail handling with optional on-tick follow-up when the gateway mail-notifier supplies the wake-up.
  • Edge and relay compositions: construct one-round local-close driver-worker edge loops and ordered relay lanes that return final results back to the origin.

Quick Start

Use houmao-adv-usage-pattern to design a notifier-prompt-driven mail loop for your managed agent that processes one bounded inbox event and then runs exactly one optional tick before ending the chat turn.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design a multi-step agent workflow with self-notification routing?▼

To design a multi-step agent workflow with self-notification routing, choose between gateway reminders and self-mail backlog so your agent can schedule future work without losing intent. This ensures coordinated mailbox and gateway behavior.

What is the best way to build a notifier-prompt-driven mail loop for agents?▼

The best way to build a notifier-prompt-driven mail loop is to configure a bounded on-event mail handler that processes one inbox event and runs exactly one optional tick before ending the chat turn.

Can I construct ordered relay lanes that return results back to the origin agent?▼

Yes, you can construct ordered relay lanes that return final results back to the origin. This pattern composes multi-step workflows by delegating mailbox mechanics and gateway control to maintained skills.

When do I need an edge loop composition for my agent workflow?▼

You need an edge loop composition when constructing a one-round local-close driver-worker interaction. This pattern ensures your workflow meets operational guardrails while handling bounded on-event tasks.

Does this approach require delegating mailbox mechanics to other skills?▼

Yes, this approach requires delegating mailbox mechanics and gateway control to appropriate maintained skills. It follows help and read-only guardrails to ensure your agent workflow meets pattern boundaries.

Why use self-mail backlog instead of gateway reminders for scheduling future agent work?▼

Use self-mail backlog instead of gateway reminders when an agent needs to schedule future work without losing intent. Both are self-notification routing patterns, but backlog ensures persistent task tracking within mailbox workflows.
