What it does
Human Gate is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. 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…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/batch.v1.schema.json`, `assets/example_review_sidecar.md` and `references/feedback_batching.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Code review, Landing pages and HTML artifacts. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Any irreversible action needs human sign-off before shipping
- On requests such as get sign-off
- Have someone check this
- Hold until reviewed
Example prompts
- “get sign-off”
- “have someone check this”
- “hold until reviewed”
- “/human-gate”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Human Gate loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 180 tokens; SKILL.md has 614 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

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
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 donehuman_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/.
<!-- 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
- Never report done while
closeexits 2. Say what is open instead. - Never invent a reviewer name to satisfy G3. No reviewer is the finding.
- 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. - Never block-poll for a human. Hand over the path and end the turn;
opendetects a headless host. Rounds are capped and exhaustion escalates. - Never auto-fetch and run unpinned code. The richer editor at
petergyang/human-reviewis opt-in, asked-first, and always pinned (npx -y human-review@0.6.0) — unpinnednpx -yruns whatever was published most recently. Itspollblocks and it rewrites HTML in place, so wrap both. It changes the editor, never the gate. Seeaudit/human-review-2026-08/. - 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.

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.
