Individual skill
human-in-the-loop
Use when classifying a slice closeout (auto-continue / human gate / park), routing a real decision to a human, or designing a human queue/dashboard surface. Treats humans as durable network participants with attention surfaces, queues, and decision records — escalation lands as a durable attention item, not a chat message. Approval is NOT required for every clean closeout; the default RSI conveyor continues unless an explicit human gate is reached.

# Human In The Loop
The primitive that treats humans as **durable network participants** —
attention surfaces, queues, decision records, routing semantics — not
as ad-hoc chat receivers.
**Autonomy is not the absence of humans; it is knowing when human
judgment is needed and making that handoff crisp.**
## Use this when
- A slice closeout needs classifying: auto-continue, human gate, or park
- A real decision needs to land in front of a human (usage limits, provider auth, roadmap tradeoff, product-intent ambiguity)
- Designing a human queue/dashboard surface
