human-in-the-loop-design
Design the human approval surface for an agent system — which actions gate, how approvals batch without becoming rubber stamps, and what the audit trail must hold. Use when asked to add human oversight to an agent, design approval workflows for AI actions, decide what an agent may do autonomously, or fix approval fatigue in an existing loop. Produces an action-tier policy, approval UX spec, escalation rules, and audit-trail requirements. For specifying the whole agent use agent-spec; for the per-skill execution gates see the Execution-block pattern in SKILLSPEC §5.

# Human-in-the-Loop Design Skill
The failure mode of agent oversight isn't too little review — it's review that decays into a rubber stamp. Forty approval prompts a day trains the human to click yes; then the one that mattered goes through with the rest. This skill designs the loop so human attention lands exactly where it changes the outcome, and nowhere else.
## What This Skill Produces
- An **action-tier policy**: every agent action classified auto / notify / approve / forbidden
- An **approval UX spec**: what the human sees, batching rules, and the anti-rubber-stamp mechanics
- **Escalation & fallback rules**: timeouts, absent approvers, disagreement
- **Audit-trail requirements**: what gets recorded so any decision is reconstructable
