What it does

Factory Human Digest is an agent skill from BuilderIO/skills. Experimental workflow for summarizing work that still needs human judgment across configured pull requests, issues, feedback, errors, and delivery signals. Use for a human decision queue or bounded review.

Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A human decision queue
  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/factory-human-digest”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit da158ca. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Factory Human Digest loads about 979 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 526 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~979

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Factory Human Digest

Start with the Factory guide for workflow setup and configuration.

Read .agent-factory/config.yaml and apply the optional skill_prompts.factory-human-digest entry as additional project guidance. Inspect only the repositories and sources it authorizes.

Choose the scope

For a manual run with no narrower request or workflow settings, include all configured source categories, use the last 7 days, and report at balanced granularity. A user can narrow or expand the request in ordinary language, for example, “PRs only, last 30 days, detailed” or “everything from this week, brief.” Use configured repository and source boundaries even when the requested time window or category changes. For scheduled runs, use workflows.human-digest from the config.

Categories can include pull requests, issues, feedback, errors, telemetry, and stalled or failed delivery work. A category filter selects records to inspect; it does not expand access to another project or integration.

Find items that need a person

Read configured sources and repositories completely for the selected window. Follow pagination and record the actual dates, filters, counts, and any source that was unavailable or truncated. Include items held outside the normal agent-handled flows, such as:

  • pull requests waiting for human review, approval, a merge decision, or product judgment;
  • issues, feedback, or errors held for missing context, unclear intent, risk, conflicting evidence, or a decision outside the configured automation rules;
  • new answers to information requests that have not yet been re-triaged;
  • recurring incidents, UX concerns, or delivery work that stopped without a verified resolution or safe authorized next step.

Exclude work that has a verified terminal outcome unless it reopened, recurred, or received new information during the window. A label or agent summary alone does not prove an item is resolved. If the source cannot distinguish pending from resolved, report that uncertainty instead of guessing.

Group patterns and preserve evidence

Group related items by the underlying user impact or failure pattern, not by similar words alone. For each group, preserve the date range, count of distinct records, source links, representative evidence, and the human decision needed. Separate event volume from affected people or sessions unless the source has a reliable identity definition. Keep unrelated reports separate even when one summary would be shorter.

Use the configured granularity, or balanced by default:

  • Brief: top groups, why each needs a person, and links to the source items.
  • Balanced: grouped summaries, representative evidence, and a linked list of each item needing a decision.
  • Detailed: one entry per item with relevant context, prior handling, evidence, and the exact decision or next step.

Report; do not take the actions

Start with coverage: window, categories, repositories, sources, filters, and pagination status. Then report recurring themes and the decision queue. For each entry include links, why the normal flow did not handle it, prior replies or dispositions, the decision required, and an owner or due date only when the source provides one.

This workflow is read-only. Do not reply, approve, merge, assign, close, change status, or notify people from the digest. Route any requested action through its owning Factory workflow and its separate configured policy. Missing or partial source data must remain visible in the report; it is never evidence of an empty queue.
