Overview

Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) workflows integrate human judgment into AI systems, ensuring that critical decisions receive human oversight while allowing automation for routine cases. HITL is essential for high-stakes applications and regulatory compliance.

Core Principle: "Automate the routine, escalate the exceptional. Humans and AI working together outperform either alone."

Core Concepts & Rules

1. Core Principles

  • Follow established patterns and conventions
  • Maintain consistency across codebase
  • Document decisions and trade-offs

2. Implementation Guidelines

  • Start with the simplest viable solution
  • Iterate based on feedback and requirements
  • Test thoroughly before deployment

Inputs / Outputs / Contracts

  • Inputs:
    • <e.g., env vars, request payload, file paths, schema>
  • Entry Conditions:
    • <Pre-requisites: e.g., Repo initialized, DB running, specific branch checked out>
  • Outputs:
    • <e.g., artifacts (PR diff, docs, tests, dashboard JSON)>
  • Artifacts Required (Deliverables):
    • <e.g., Code Diff, Unit Tests, Migration Script, API Docs>
  • Acceptance Evidence:
    • <e.g., Test Report (screenshot/log), Benchmark Result, Security Scan Report>
  • Success Criteria:
    • <e.g., p95 < 300ms, coverage ≥ 80%>

Quick Start

Assumptions

  • Human reviewers have domain expertise
  • Review capacity is sufficient for the workload
  • Confidence scores are well-calibrated
  • Reviewers have access to necessary context

Compatibility

  • Works with any AI/ML model that provides confidence scores
  • Language-agnostic workflow patterns
  • Can be integrated with existing review systems

Test Scenario Matrix

Scenario Confidence Expected Action Notes
Safe content >0.95 Auto-approve High confidence, low risk
Moderate confidence 0.80-0.95 Async review Queue for later review
Low confidence 0.60-0.80 Sync review Immediate review required
Very low confidence <0.60 Manual handling AI should not act
Critical domain Any Human review Regulatory requirement

Technical Guardrails & Security Threat Model

1. Security & Privacy (Threat Model)

  • Top Threats: Injection attacks, authentication bypass, data exposure
  • Data Handling: Sanitize all user inputs to prevent Injection attacks. Never log raw PII
  • Secrets Management: No hardcoded API keys. Use Env Vars/Secrets Manager
  • Authorization: Validate user permissions before state changes

2. Performance & Resources

  • Execution Efficiency: Consider time complexity for algorithms
  • Memory Management: Use streams/pagination for large data
  • Resource Cleanup: Close DB connections/file handlers in finally blocks

3. Architecture & Scalability

  • Design Pattern: Follow SOLID principles, use Dependency Injection
  • Modularity: Decouple logic from UI/Frameworks

4. Observability & Reliability

  • Logging Standards: Structured JSON, include trace IDs request_id
  • Metrics: Track error_rate, latency, queue_depth
  • Error Handling: Standardized error codes, no bare except
  • Observability Artifacts:
    • Log Fields: timestamp, level, message, request_id
    • Metrics: request_count, error_count, response_time
    • Dashboards/Alerts: High Error Rate > 5%

Agent Directives & Error Recovery

(ข้อกำหนดสำหรับ AI Agent ในการคิดและแก้ปัญหาเมื่อเกิดข้อผิดพลาด)

  • Thinking Process: Analyze root cause before fixing. Do not brute-force.
  • Fallback Strategy: Stop after 3 failed test attempts. Output root cause and ask for human intervention/clarification.
  • Self-Review: Check against Guardrails & Anti-patterns before finalizing.
  • Output Constraints: Output ONLY the modified code block. Do not explain unless asked.

Definition of Done

  • Confidence thresholds defined and documented
  • Review queue implemented with prioritization
  • SLA tracking and alerting in place
  • Reviewer interface provides sufficient context
  • Feedback loop for model improvement
  • Metrics dashboard configured
  • Load balancing implemented
  • Escalation procedures documented
  • Integration tests passing
  • Documentation complete

Anti-patterns / Pitfalls

  • Don't: Log PII, catch-all exception, N+1 queries
  • ⚠️ Watch out for: Common symptoms and quick fixes
  • 💡 Instead: Use proper error handling, pagination, and logging
