Task Packs

Marketing Foundation

Compact two-skill starter: clarify positioning and choose a lead magnet. Use Marketing Launch for the broader eight-skill go-to-market workflow.

Marketing Launch

Build an evidence-led marketing plan from ICP and competition through positioning, campaigns, growth and measurement.

Agent Audit Essentials

Diagnose architecture and context, plan agent-team responsibilities, then organize project context and session handoffs. Memory and cost-runtime reviews remain outside this pack.

Conversion and Activation Review

Review the journey from landing page and lead capture through registration, first value and transparent upgrades.

Campaign Content and Brand Review

Plan a campaign, draft its channel content and review the work against actual brand guidance.

Content and Launch Planning

Prioritize an editorial roadmap and plan how to launch and distribute it across suitable channels.

Customer, Market and Community Research

Understand customer needs, compare competitors and plan a community around real member value.

Lead Magnet to Lifecycle Nurture

Choose a relevant lead magnet, then draft a permission-based nurture journey with entry, suppression and exit rules.

API Contract and Observability

Define the API contract, then plan how to observe its latency, failures and retries. Guidance and checklist; no production changes.

Data Analysis Foundation

Profile a dataset, choose and interpret statistical methods, then validate calculations and conclusions before sharing.

name: human-gate
description: "Runs the human-verification lane of an agent loop, and proves review happened before work is called done. Builds a single-file HTML review page, collects batched feedback as a structured artifact instead of chat prose, and runs a gate that refuses to close while a BLOCKER is open, the reviewer is unnamed, or nobody has reviewed at all. Use when a plan, spec, RFC, report, landing page, migration, or any irreversible action needs human sign-off before shipping, or on requests such as 'get sign-off', 'have someone check this', 'hold until reviewed', 'needs approval first'. NOT for making AI text sound human (use content-humanizer or behuman). NOT for reviewing code diffs (use md-review or code-reviewer)."

# Human Gate

You are the part of the loop that refuses to let an agent mark its own homework.
Machine verification answers *"do the checks pass?"* — `engineering/agent-harness` does that.
This answers what no script can: **has a person looked at this, and are their objections
resolved?** Feedback becomes a machine-parseable artifact rather than a message — anchored,
severity-graded, countable — and a gate either passes or names what is still open.
**Before starting**, establish: which artifact (`.md`/`.html`), who the named reviewer is (a
person, not "the team" — G3 enforces it), whether the work is reversible, and whether a human
is available now. Read `human-gate-context.md` first if it exists.

## The loop

```sh
S=engineering/human-gate/skills/human-gate/scripts

python3 $S/human_gate.py open plan.md --launch   # build page, start round N → END YOUR TURN
python3 $S/human_gate.py status plan.md          # non-blocking: 0 clear·2 blocked·3 collect·4 none
python3 $S/human_gate.py collect plan.md --output json   # batch.v1 — apply every item
python3 $S/human_gate.py close plan.md           # exit 2 = NOT done
```

`human_gate.py --sample` runs the whole loop, refusals included, in ~1s. It drives
`review_page_builder.py` (Markdown/HTML → single-file anchored page that makes no network
request of its own and sanitizes reviewed HTML — `on*`, `javascript:`, `iframe` dropped) and
`feedback_parser.py` (sidecar → `batch.v1`, quotes checked against raw *and* rendered text).

## The sidecar

Feedback lands in `<artifact>.review.md`. The page exports it; anyone can also write it by hand
in any editor — which keeps this working over SSH and in CI. Worked example and JSON contract
are in `assets/`.

```markdown
<!-- human-gate:v1 target=plan.md round=1 -->
reviewer: reza

## BLOCKER b2
> We expect a 40% lift in activation.
No source, and it drives the whole plan. Cite it or cut it.
```

Severities **BLOCKER / MAJOR / MINOR / NIT** (matching `markdown-html/md-review`, from Google's
code-review guidance), plus **NOTE**, **APPROVE**, and **EDIT** — a replacement the reviewer
already wrote, as `- before:` / `+ after:` lines.

## Gate rules

| | Refuses to close when | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| **G1** | no round collected | **G4** | sidecar changed after the last collect |
| **G2** | a BLOCKER or MAJOR is open | **G5** | round cap exhausted → **escalate**, never pass |
| **G3** | no named reviewer | **G6** | waiver used without a recorded reason |
| **G7** | the round carries unresolved integrity problems — a mistyped severity silently downgrades to NIT, so a real blocker can be lost to a typo | | |

Overrides must be explicit — `close plan.md --waive "<reason>"` — but **G1 is never waivable**:
a waiver accepts objections a reviewer raised; it cannot stand in for review happening.

## Hard rules

1. **Never report done while `close` exits 2.** Say what is open instead.
2. **Never invent a reviewer name** to satisfy G3. No reviewer *is* the finding.
3. **Never paraphrase an EDIT's `after`** — verbatim, or a human was silently overruled. Apply
   it to whatever *generates* the artifact too, or it dies on the next build.
4. **Never block-poll for a human.** Hand over the path and end the turn; `open` detects a
   headless host. Rounds are capped and exhaustion escalates.
5. **Never auto-fetch and run unpinned code.** The richer editor at `petergyang/human-review`
   is opt-in, asked-first, and always pinned (`npx -y human-review@0.6.0`) — unpinned `npx -y`
   runs whatever was published most recently. Its `poll` blocks and it rewrites HTML in place,
   so wrap both. It changes the editor, never the gate. See `audit/human-review-2026-08/`.
6. **Never treat the review page as source of truth.** It is a viewing surface.

## Forcing questions
One at a time when scope is fuzzy: **Who, by name, signs off?** · **What would make them reject
it outright?** (name it before reading — Klein's pre-mortem) · **Is this reversible?** (if not,
require explicit APPROVE, not merely no blockers) · **The artifact or its generator?** (both) ·
**How many rounds is this worth?** · **Is a human available now?** (if not, hand over and stop).
Two consecutive NIT-only rounds means it is done — say so rather than opening a third.

## Related skills
**`engineering/agent-harness`** — machine verification; this is the human lane it lacks.
**`markdown-html/md-review`** — renders a code review *to* HTML, one-way; use when the agent
reviews, human-gate when a person does. **`engineering/grill-me`** — interrogates a plan before
an artifact exists. **`content-humanizer`**/**`behuman`** — human *voice*, not approval.

Reasoning lives in `references/` — human-in-the-loop canon, feedback batching, loop discipline.
Conceptual derivation of the batched-review pattern from
[`petergyang/human-review`](https://github.com/petergyang/human-review) (MIT © 2026 Peter Yang);
no upstream code is used — stdlib Python, no server, non-blocking, plus a gate upstream lacks.

When to use

Organize named human review and structured feedback before a requested sign-off.

What you get

The complete original guidance with attributed source and declared limitations.

How it works

Clarify the task and evidence, then apply relevant source instructions within authorized scope.

Requirements

Artifact, actual reviewer, approval criteria and available review tools.

Delivery and review notes

Brief source danger screening: full-text pattern triage and review of flagged passages, not a comprehensive audit or functional test. No review tool is installed. Never fabricate reviewer identity or approval; a generated sidecar alone is not evidence of human review. Referenced scripts, templates, integrations and sibling skills are not supplied or installed unless explicitly listed as included. External calls, account changes, messages and file writes require the actual user task and authorization.

Starting prompt

Use Human Review Gate Guidance for [TASK]. Ask for missing inputs: Artifact, actual reviewer, approval criteria and available review tools. Identify assumptions and missing tools before execution; do not claim results or approvals without evidence.

Not for

Claiming runtime installation, certified safety, verified numerical outputs or permission for external actions merely from loading this source.
