Approval Workflow Skill

This skill implements the Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) approval system that ensures human oversight for sensitive autonomous actions.

Core Concept

The approval workflow uses folder-based state management:

/Pending_Approval/  →  Human reviews  →  /Approved/  →  Execute
                                    →  /Rejected/  →  Archive

expires: [ISO timestamp]
status: pending
priority: [critical|high|medium|low]
