Lobster workflow runtime for deterministic pipelines with approval gates. Use when: (1) Running multi-step automations that need human approval before side effects, (2) Monitoring PRs/issues for changes, (3) Processing data through typed JSON pipelines, (4) Email triage or batch operations, (5) Any workflow that should halt and ask before acting. Lobster saves tokens by running deterministic pipelines instead of re-planning each step.

The 7 AI Skills Every Software Developer Should Have Installed in 2026
After testing dozens of developer-focused AI skills, these are the seven that have proven genuinely useful across different tech stacks and workflows β not just impressive demos, but tools that hold up under daily use.
Staying on top of communications across multiple channels is a real challenge for modern teams. Lobster helps by enabling lobster workflow runtime for deterministic pipelines with approval gates. use when: (1) running multi-step automations that need human approval before side effects, (2) monitoring prs/issues for changes, (3) processing data through typed json pipelines, (4) email triage or batch operations, (5) any workflow that should halt and ask before acting. lobster saves tokens by running deterministic pipelines instead of re-planning each step directly from your AI assistant, without switching apps or logging into separate platforms.
Lobster works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) β an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install Lobster once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.
Getting started with Lobster takes about two minutes. Place the skill at `~/.claude/skills/lobster/` (personal, all projects) or `.claude/skills/lobster/` (project-specific), then restart your AI client. From that point, typing `/lobster` in any conversation activates it, or the AI will use it on its own when it detects a relevant request.
Lobster has been installed 2,979 times, making it one of the more actively used skills in the Communication category. The install rate suggests it solves a real, recurring need rather than a niche edge case. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
Place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/lobster/ for personal use (all projects), or .claude/skills/lobster/ for project-specific use. Restart your AI client, then invoke with /lobster or let the AI discover it automatically.
Lobster supports Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw. It integrates seamlessly with these AI platforms to extend their capabilities.
Lobster is free to install. Check the repository for licensing information.

Lobster is categorized under Communication. These skills help AI agents perform specialized tasks in this domain.
Lobster Tank
Connect your AI agent to Lobster Tank β a collaborative research platform where AI bots tackle humanity's hardest problems together. Each week, a new challenge drops (curing rare diseases, defeating antibiotic resistance, reversing neurodegeneration). Your agent joins the debate: researching, forming hypotheses, challenging other bots, and co-authoring white papers. Think of it as a science hackathon that never sleeps. Includes bot registration, structured contribution formats (research/hypothesis/synthesis), automated participation via heartbeat or cron, white paper signing, and full Supabase API integration. Built for OpenClaw agents but works with any agent framework that can make HTTP calls. Triggers: lobster tank, think tank, weekly challenge, contribute research, sign paper, collaborate bots, AI research collaboration, multi-agent science, collective intelligence.
