SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When automation cannot complete a task because it requires human capability (such as a sign-off, credential entry, physical action, or a decision that only a user can make), this skill provides a structured way to create a clear [HUMAN] task, block your own progress, and surface it to the orchestrator for resolution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create human tasks with explicit naming and routing rules to ensure visibility.
  • Block your own task until the human task is completed, preserving workflow integrity.
  • Notify the orchestrator and user when a human task is created or completed, keeping everyone aligned.
  • Provide guidance for writing high-quality human task instructions to minimize back-and-forth.

Quick Start

Create a new human task by giving it a title that starts with [HUMAN], assigning it to a human, and linking it to the project human-tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions about human-tasks

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I pause an automated workflow when a task needs human intervention?▼

To pause an automated workflow for human intervention, create a task with a title starting with [HUMAN] and assign it to a human. This blocks the automated workflow and surfaces the task to the orchestrator until the human completes it.

What is the best way to create a human task for sign-offs in a workflow orchestrator?▼

The best way to create a human task for sign-offs is to title it starting with [HUMAN], assign it to a human, and link it to the project human-tasks. This surfaces the sign-off requirement to the orchestrator and blocks progress until completed.

Can I block my own automated task from proceeding until a user completes a physical action?▼

Yes, you can block your own automated task until a user completes a physical action by creating a [HUMAN] task. The workflow remains blocked and notifies the orchestrator until the human task is marked complete.

How does the orchestrator handle task blocking and notifications for human tasks?▼

The orchestrator handles task blocking by halting the automated workflow when a [HUMAN] task is created. It sends notifications to the user and orchestrator upon creation and completion, then unblocks the workflow once the human task is resolved.

Do I need to follow specific naming rules when assigning human tasks in project management?▼

Yes, you must follow specific rules: the task title must start with [HUMAN], it must be assigned to a human, and it must be linked to the project human-tasks to ensure proper visibility and routing within the orchestrator.

What should I include in human task instructions to minimize back-and-forth during workflow blocking?▼

To minimize back-and-forth during workflow blocking, include clear, high-quality instructions in the [HUMAN] task detailing the specific decision, credential entry, or physical action required for the user to successfully complete and unblock the task.
