What it does

Hitl Approval is an agent skill from nwiizo/ccswarm. Human-in-the-loop approval workflow for high-risk agent operations (file deletions, deployments, config changes).

Its SKILL.md is about 290 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 and Deployment. The repository describes itself as: Multi-agent orchestration system using Claude Code with Git worktree isolation and specialized AI agents for collaborative development. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Human-in-the-loop approvals
  • Tasks that involve Deployment

Example prompts

  • “/hitl-approval”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 611bf15. 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 bash).

    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

Hitl Approval loads about 290 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 68 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~290

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.
