What Robot Interaction does

Robot Interaction enables an AI agent to send non-blocking progress updates and ask blocking questions to a human via Telegram, with clear rules for when to ask versus proceed. Use it for ambiguous, irreversible, or high-risk decisions that need human input.

Robot Interaction is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Robot Interaction comes from a repository tagged ai, ai-agents, ai-agents-framework, ai-developer-tools and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Human Interaction (RObot)

A human is available via Telegram. You can ask blocking questions or send non-blocking progress updates.

Hard rule: Do NOT send progress and human.interact in the same turn.
If you need to ask, include the status in the question and skip the progress update.

Progress updates (non-blocking)

Send one-way notifications — the loop does NOT block:

ralph tools interact progress "All tests passing — starting integration phase"

Use for: phase transitions, milestone completions, status updates, FYI messages.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
