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

An agent skill for asynchronous human supervision. It directs agents to make reasonable, reversible decisions and present the work for review, while requiring confirmation for irreversible actions.

Key features

  1. 01Proceed with reversible work without blocking
  2. 02Present completed work for review
  3. 03Log and address discovered problems
  4. 04Require confirmation for irreversible actions

Use cases

  1. 01Continue coding while human supervision is asynchronous
  2. 02Edit notes or split tasks without waiting
  3. 03Pause before deleting production data or sending 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.
