What it does

Using Elicitations is an agent skill from friday-platform/friday-studio. Asks the user mid-run from inside an FSM action or Python type: user agent via the elicitation tools — requesttoolaccess for allowlist approvals and requesthumaninput for HITL (human-in-the-loop) decisions, approvals, confirmations, and disambiguation. Use when a job needs the user to choose, approve, or supply input before the action can continue. Covers simple multiple choice, nested per-item choice, prompt formatting, and how to consume the answer.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k 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 Agent Workflows, covering Quizzes and assessments and Human-in-the-loop approvals. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Agent Harness Platform — shareable workspaces, MCP tools, skills, memory, and cron/webhook automations. Self-hosted and transparent.

When your agent uses it

  • A job needs the user to choose
  • Supply input before the action can continue

Example prompts

  • “/using-elicitations”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fb3069a. 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 (its code samples are json and typescript).

    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

Using Elicitations loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,070 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~121
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,070 words (~2,410 tokens).

“Elicitations pause a running FSM action (or Python type: user agent), surface a prompt to the user in the Activity feed, and resume the same tool call with the user's answer. Two tools, one mechanism.”

When should I use Using Elicitations?

Using Elicitations fits situations like: A job needs the user to choose; supply input before the action can continue.

How do I install Using Elicitations in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add friday-platform/friday-studio --skill using-elicitations -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (packages/system/skills/using-elicitations in friday-platform/friday-studio) into .claude/skills/using-elicitations in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Using Elicitations in Codex?

Run `npx skills add friday-platform/friday-studio --skill using-elicitations -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (packages/system/skills/using-elicitations in friday-platform/friday-studio) into .agents/skills/using-elicitations in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Using Elicitations in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add friday-platform/friday-studio --skill using-elicitations -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/using-elicitations, .gemini/skills/using-elicitations, .github/skills/using-elicitations and .opencode/skills/using-elicitations in your project.

What does Using Elicitations need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Using Elicitations is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Using Elicitations access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Using Elicitations safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Using Elicitations use?
