About principle-never-block-on-the-human

A skill for agents working under asynchronous human supervision. It favors making reversible decisions and presenting the result, while reserving confirmation for irreversible actions.

Key features

  1. 01Proceed with reversible work
  2. 02Present decisions and results
  3. 03Log and fix discovered problems
  4. 04Confirm irreversible actions

Use cases

  1. 01Implement code without waiting for approval
  2. 02Edit notes or split tasks independently
  3. 03Pause before deleting production data
  4. 04Pause before sending external messages

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

Details

From the project README

Never Block on the Human

The human supervises asynchronously. Agents must stay unblocked. Make reasonable decisions, proceed, and let the human course-correct after the fact. Since code changes are reversible and reviewable, a wrong decision usually costs less than blocking.

  • Proceed, then present. Do the work, show the result. Don't ask "should I do X?" Do X, explain why.
  • Make the system self-healing. When you notice a problem, log it and fix it in the next round.
  • Irreversible actions (force-push, delete production data, send external messages) still require confirmation.
  • Reversible actions (write code, edit notes, split tasks) should proceed without blocking.
  • Product direction comes from the human. Execution should not block.
