AF hitl-protocol

HITL Protocol — the open standard for human decisions in autonomous agent workflows. When a website or API needs human input, it returns HTTP 202 with a review URL. Autonomous agents like OpenClaw, Claude, Codex, or Goose forward the URL, poll for the structured result, and continue. Use this skill to make any website agent-ready, or to handle human-in-the-loop responses in your agent. Covers approval, selection, input forms, confirmation, and escalation review types. Supports polling, SSE, webhook transports, channel-native inline buttons (Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, Teams), opaque token security, multi-step form wizards, and multi-round edit cycles.

How to improve

  1. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
For the model run — optional
  • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
