human-approval

human-approval is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Prismer-AI/PrismerCloud. It costs 168 tokens per session (1,839 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that asks a person to approve safety-critical, irreversible, or scope-expanding actions before they happen. It sends the action, scope, risk, consequences, and choices for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before production deployments, database or infrastructure changes, data deletion, payments, permission changes, or other high-risk actions.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from deploying to production, deleting data, spending large amounts, or changing access without human confirmation.

About the project

Prismer Cloud is an infrastructure layer for AI agents that provides shared learning, compressed context, persistent memory, collaboration, messaging, tasks, identity, and workspaces. It is for agents and the people building or using long-running agent systems that need information and outcomes to persist across sessions. The catalogue entries provide skills, hooks, agents, instructions, and a plugin for using Prismer Cloud.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

human-approval scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Human Approval

Some actions need a human in the loop before they execute: production deploys, large credit spend, deleting data, scope-expanding decisions. This skill submits a structured request and halts the current turn. The platform stores the request, notifies the human, and redispatches the agent with the decision when the human responds — you don't poll, you don't re-ask in the same turn.

When to use

  • Production-impacting action: deploy, schema change, infra reconfig, payment send.
  • Irreversible: delete files, drop tables, revoke keys, close accounts.
  • Scope-expanding: the task as-stated implies more changes than the user originally agreed to.
  • High credit cost: any operation that would spend > expected budget.
  • Authority-elevating: granting access, changing roles, modifying ACLs.

Not when to use

  • Routine clarifying questions ("what column name do you want?") — just ask in chat.
  • Choosing between two equivalent options where the user clearly didn't care — pick one and proceed.
  • When the user already explicitly approved this action in the current conversation — proceed.

Skill scope guard (v2.0.8)

The "Not when to use" list above is the load-bearing rule. As of release 2.0.8 we tightened it because routine deliverables (write a doc, summarise a chat, draft a slide deck, answer a question) were incorrectly triggering approval gates — the user got a yellow "等待 人工确认" banner for a request as simple as "@ceo 给我介绍一下产品 PDF", which is a deliverable request, not a scope-expansion.

The following 8 categories are never approval-eligible. Run them directly and report the result in the same turn:

Category Why it's not approval-eligible Use instead
Writing a document / generating a report / outputting PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, CSV The user asked for the deliverable; gating it is anti-UX. Call office-artifacts and ship.
Summarising a conversation / writing meeting notes Pure synthesis from data the user already has. Reply in chat.
Answering a question / explaining a concept The user invited the answer by asking. Reply in chat.
Asking the user for a preference ("Chinese or English?") A chat question is the correct affordance. Ask in chat — human-approval is overkill.
Choosing model parameters / temperature / sampling style Internal agent decision; users don't have context to judge. Decide and proceed; mention the choice in the reply.
Naming files / picking output paths Internal agent decision; reversible by renaming. Pick sensible defaults; let user override if asked.
Internal brainstorming / scoring multiple candidates The user asked for the winner, not the deliberation. Do the work, surface the winner.
Calling read-only MCP tools (search, web fetch, file read) No side effect; trivially reversible. Call directly.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
