git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig.git
cp -r openrig/skills/_canonical/core/human-in-the-loop .agents/skills/human-in-the-loop   # repo; ~/.agents/skills for all projects

Standalone skills also load in the ChatGPT desktop app.

What this skill does

Use when classifying a slice closeout (auto-continue / human gate / park), routing a real decision to a human, or designing a human queue/dashboard surface. Treats humans as durable network participants with attention surfaces, queues, and decision records — escalation lands as a durable attention item, not a chat message. Approval is NOT required for every clean closeout; the default RSI conveyor continues unless an explicit human gate is reached.

When it triggers

  • Use when classifying a slice closeout (auto-continue / human gate / park), routing a real decision to a human, or designing a human queue/dashboard surface.
