HITL Blocker

Use this before reporting a blocker back to the user.

Workflow

  1. Identify the exact missing human-held item.
  2. Create or reuse labels: HITL task and high priority when launch/work is blocked.
  3. Create a GitHub issue in the most relevant repo.
  4. Include where to set or obtain the value.
  5. Include why it blocks the work.
  6. Include the verification command to rerun afterward.
  7. Link the failed run, PR, deployment, or command output when available.

Issue Must Include

  • Missing item
  • Owner/action needed
  • Where to enter it
  • Why it blocks launch/work
  • Verification after completion

Guardrails

  • Public issues, PRs, comments, and handovers must never include credential values or local credential-file paths. Use Credential details: [redacted].
  • Do not bury human-only blockers in chat only.
  • Do not keep retrying automation when credentials or account permissions are missing.
