Use Case
Lobster is a powerful AI agent skill that extends your assistant with new capabilities. 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. This guide walks you through installing Lobster, configuring it for your setup, and running your first commands β so you can start getting value in minutes.
