modbender Approval Queue
Lightweight approval queue for managing pending actions — SNS posts, deployments, content publishing. Approve or reject with a single tap.
Quick Start
cd {skill_dir}
npm install && npm run build
# Start API server
node dist/server.js --port 3010
# CLI usage
node dist/cli.js add --type sns_post --payload '{"text":"Hello world","platform":"twitter"}'
node dist/cli.js list --status pending
node dist/cli.js approve <item-id>
node dist/cli.js reject <item-id> --reason "Not appropriate"

Queue Item Structure
{
"id": "uuid",
"type": "sns_post",
"status": "pending",
"payload": { "text": "Post content", "platform": "twitter" },

Integration with OpenClaw
Agent creates content → Adds to queue → Sends inline approval button → User taps → Action executes
Security
- Validate all input payloads before queuing — reject malformed JSON
- Sanitize
reviewer_noteto prevent injection if displayed in UI - Use authentication middleware in production (API key or JWT)
- SQLite DB file should be
chmod 600
Configuration
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
PORT |
3010 | Server port |
DB_PATH |
./data/queue.db |
SQLite path |
WEBHOOK_URL |
— | Callback on approve/reject |
Troubleshooting
- Port in use:
lsof -i :3010to find conflicts - DB locked: Only one server process should access the SQLite file
- Webhook failures: Check URL reachability; add retry logic for production
Requirements
- Node.js 18+
- No external API keys needed
