Approval Workflow Skill
This skill implements the Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) approval system that ensures human oversight for sensitive autonomous actions.
Core Concept
The approval workflow uses folder-based state management:
/Pending_Approval/ → Human reviews → /Approved/ → Execute
→ /Rejected/ → Archive
Approval Request Format
---
type: approval_request
action: [action_type]
created: [ISO timestamp]
expires: [ISO timestamp]
status: pending
priority: [critical|high|medium|low]
requestor: [agent_name]
risk_level: [low|medium|high]
reversible: [true|false]
---
## Action Summary
[Brief description of what will happen]
## Details
[Full action parameters]
## Risk Assessment
- **Reversible**: [Yes|No|Partial]
- **Impact**: [Description]
- **Sensitive Data**: [Yes|No]
## Instructions
- **Approve**: Move to `/Approved/`
- **Reject**: Move to `/Rejected/`
- **Edit**: Modify, then approve
Approval Thresholds
| Action Type | Auto-Approve | Human Required |
|---|---|---|
| Email (known contact) | Reply only | New recipients |
| Payment | < $50 recurring | New payee, > $100 |
| Social post | Scheduled | Immediate, replies |
| File operations | Create/read | Delete |
| Greetings | Business msgs |
