Individual skill
human-approval
Request human approval before performing a SAFETY-CRITICAL, IRREVERSIBLE, or SCOPE-EXPANDING action — submit a structured context (action, scope, risk, consequence) plus options, then STOP the current turn. The platform redispatches the agent after the human decides. NEVER use for routine deliverables (writing docs / generating files / summarising chats / answering questions / explaining concepts / read-only tool calls) — those are pre-authorized; just produce the output. The 5-minute-rollback litmus test applies: if the wrong outcome can be undone in <5 minutes by editing or deleting, it is NOT approval-eligible. Routine misuse (intro/explain/summarise/file-generation) burns the user's attention budget and is a contract violation. Executes via `cloud approval` CLI.

# Human Approval
> **Autonomous by default (release203).** Agents operate autonomously. Do
> NOT request approval for routine tool use, running commands, or delivering
> artifacts (`cloud deliver`). Only use this skill for genuinely high-risk
> actions, and only when your role is explicitly configured for it. If your
> `approvalPolicy` is `autonomous`, you should essentially never reach for
> this skill — just do the work and report the result.
>
> **Anti-confabulation rule.** NEVER claim to be "waiting for human
> approval" / "等待人工确认" unless you ACTUALLY invoked the approval tool
> (`cloud approval request` / `prismer.approval.request_human_approval`) and
> received a real `approvalId`. Narrating an approval pause you never
> triggered is a hallucination — it strands the user with a phantom gate
