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:
code
/Pending_Approval/ → Human reviews → /Approved/ → Execute
→ /Rejected/ → Archive
Approval Request Format
