HITL Protocol — the open standard for human decisions in autonomous agent workflows. When a website or API needs human input, it returns HTTP 202 with a review URL. Autonomous agents like OpenClaw, Claude, Codex, or Goose forward the URL, poll for the structured result, and continue. Use this skill to make any website agent-ready, or to handle human-in-the-loop responses in your agent. Covers approval, selection, input forms, confirmation, and escalation review types. Supports polling, SSE, webhook transports, channel-native inline buttons (Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, Teams), opaque token security, multi-step form wizards, and multi-round edit cycles.

About this skill (catalog notes)

AI agents increasingly visit websites and services on behalf of their users: searching, booking, applying, purchasing. But some decisions are too important to leave to an agent alone — an agent can hallucinate, misinterpret, or make the wrong call at a critical moment — cancel the wrong insurance policy, book a non-refundable trip to the wrong city, wire money to the wrong account. HITL Protocol ("Human in the Loop") is an open standard that ensures humans stay in control of these moments. The user stays in their favorite messenger — Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack — and either taps a decision…
