SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates multi-step processes that require human approval before execution, ensuring control over critical actions and streamlining repeatable tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow Execution: Run sequences of commands defined in a pipeline.
  • Approval Gates: Pause execution for user confirmation on sensitive or multi-part actions.
  • Resumable Operations: Continue workflows after approval using a unique token.
  • Use Case: Automate the process of triaging emails: search for new emails, classify them, and then prompt for approval before sending any replies.

Quick Start

Run the 'gog.gmail.search --query "newer_than:1d" --max 20 | email.triage' pipeline.

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

To add human approval checkpoints to an automated workflow, you can define pipelines that pause execution for user confirmation on sensitive actions before continuing. This ensures control over critical multi-step tasks.

What is a resumable pipeline and how does it handle state?▼

A resumable pipeline is a sequence of automated commands that saves its execution state. It handles state by using a unique token to continue and resume workflows securely after an approval gate is cleared.

How do I automate email triage with conditional approval before sending replies?▼

You can automate email triage by running a typed pipeline that searches for new emails and classifies them. The workflow then pauses execution, prompting for human approval before sending any automated replies.

Can I integrate external commands into a multi-step automation pipeline?▼

Yes, you can integrate external commands into a multi-step automation pipeline by using an ernos.invoke step within workflows. This allows the pipeline to trigger and interact with other tools during execution.

Does workflow automation support JSON-first configurations?▼

Yes, workflow automation supports JSON-first configurations for defining typed pipelines. This allows you to structure complex, multi-step automations like monitoring and synchronization using structured data formats.

What are the limitations of resumable workflow operations?▼

The limitations of resumable workflow operations depend on the successful generation and validation of a unique resumption token. If the pipeline state is lost or the token expires, the workflow cannot continue automatically after an approval pause.
