About principle-never-block-on-the-human
A short agent skill for asynchronous collaboration: agents make reasonable, reversible decisions and present the result instead of waiting for the human. It reserves confirmation for irreversible actions such as force-pushing or deleting production data.
Key features
- 01Proceed with reversible work
- 02Present results for later review
- 03Fix noticed problems in a later round
- 04Require confirmation for irreversible actions
Use cases
- 01Making code changes without waiting for approval
- 02Handling notes and task splits asynchronously
- 03Pausing before destructive or external actions

Details
From the project READMENever 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.
