Waiting for external input with durable promises in an Effect-based Golem agent.

  • Human-in-the-loop workflows

What it does

Golem Wait For External Input Effect is an agent skill from golemcloud/golem. Waiting for external input with durable promises in an Effect-based Golem agent. Use for human-in-the-loop workflows, callbacks, external decisions, or suspending an @golemcloud/effect-golem invocation until another agent supplies data.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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 Human-in-the-loop approvals. The repository describes itself as: Golem Cloud is the agent-native platform for building AI agents and distributed applications that never lose state, never duplicate work, and never require you to build…

When your agent uses it

  • Human-in-the-loop workflows
  • External decisions
  • Suspending an @golemcloud/effect-golem invocation until another agent supplies data

Example prompts

  • “/golem-wait-for-external-input-effect”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2dea6b9. 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 typescript and yaml).

    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

Golem Wait For External Input Effect loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 572 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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 572 words (~2,201 tokens).

“Use Agents.Promises when an invocation must durably suspend until another agent or external system supplies a one-shot byte payload. Golem owns the promise and suspension, so the waiting agent consumes no compute while idle and can recover through normal durable…”
