react-agent-pattern: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/hitl-side-effects/SKILL.md

hitl-side-effects is a skill for Cursor from vpeetla-ai/react-agent-pattern. It costs 47 tokens per session (291 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of hitl-side-effects, MIT.

A pattern for requiring human approval before an agent performs an irreversible action, such as publishing, notifying, merging, or pushing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add approval queues, review and edit steps, approve or reject controls, audit records, and pause-and-resume behavior around side effects.
Why use it?
It prevents an automated workflow from making consequential changes without showing a person what will happen and why.

Skill for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/.

This is vpeetla-ai/react-agent-pattern's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on react-agent-pattern itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything react-agent-pattern configures →

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

hitl-side-effects 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 2mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to hitl-side-effects — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

HITL for Side Effects

LangGraph pattern

graph.compile(checkpointer=MemorySaver(), interrupt_before=["hitl"])
# First invoke stops before hitl node
# After human approval:
await graph.ainvoke({"hitl_approved": True}, config)

AegisAI pattern

  • POST /api/gateway/tool-request → pending | approved | denied
  • UI polls or webhook; agent resumes on approval

Content Factory

  • Draft → review queue → human edit → publish (gateway-wrapped)

LoopForge repo-fix

  • interrupt_before=["hitl"] before push/PR when create_pr=true
  • POST /api/repo-fix/{run_id}/approve resumes graph

UX requirements

  • Show what will happen (diff, channel, recipient)
  • Show why agent chose this action (trace excerpt)
  • Approve / Reject / Edit-and-approve

Never

  • Auto-approve production side effects without explicit env flag
  • Skip audit log on approval/denial

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.
