# Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Patterns

## Overview
The "Human-in-the-Loop" (HITL) skill provides a standardized framework for integrating human oversight into agentic workflows. By tiering actions based on risk, we ensure autonomy is utilized safely for low-impact tasks while maintaining rigorous human control over high-impact operations. This skill aligns with the C4 Runtime Protocol to prevent "black box" agent behavior.

## When To Use
- Before performing destructive file operations (e.g., `rm -rf`, bulk overwrites).
- Before triggering deployment pipelines or infrastructure changes.
- Before making financial or security-impacting decisions.
- When an agent's confidence in a plan or outcome is below a critical threshold.
- When the user requires explicit auditability of agent intent.

## Risk-Tiered Action Matrix
To manage friction, apply the appropriate gate based on the action category:
