SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates multi-step workflows that require human approval before execution, ensuring controlled and repeatable processes for tasks like triaging, monitoring, and syncing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Repeatable Automation: Define and execute complex workflows reliably.
  • Approval Gates: Pause execution at critical steps for user confirmation.
  • Resumable Operations: Continue workflows after approval using a secure token.
  • Use Case: Automate the daily triage of incoming emails, with a human review step before any draft replies are sent.

Quick Start

Run the lobster skill to execute the email triage pipeline.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add human approval checkpoints to an automated workflow pipeline?▼

Workflows with approval gates pause execution at critical steps for user confirmation, ensuring controlled, repeatable automation for sensitive tasks like triaging, monitoring, and syncing.

How do I resume a paused workflow after granting approval?▼

Resumable operations use a secure token to continue workflow execution from the exact checkpoint where it was paused, ensuring deterministic state recovery after user approval.

What is a typed JSON-first pipeline for deterministic workflow execution?▼

A typed JSON-first pipeline structures multi-step automation tasks to ensure repeatable, predictable outcomes for operations like triaging and syncing by processing sequential steps deterministically.

Can I integrate external tools into a multi-step automation workflow?▼

You can integrate external tools into a multi-step automation workflow by using a clawd.invoke step to connect with other Clawdbot tools within the pipeline, extending functional capabilities.

What are the limitations of resumable workflow pipelines with approval gates?▼

Resumable pipelines with approval gates require a secure token to resume operations after pausing, meaning execution halts entirely until human confirmation is received, potentially delaying time-sensitive automated tasks.
