Lobster

Quick Review

Lobster provides a clear workflow automation framework with approval checkpoints. The description effectively explains when to use it (multi-step automations requiring human approval) versus when not to (simple single actions). Documentation includes concrete examples, structured output formats, and resume token handling. Structure is clean with good decision tables and anti-patterns. However, novelty is moderate—while useful, workflow orchestration with approval gates is a common pattern that many tools provide, and a CLI agent could reasonably chain tools with conditional logic. The main value is convenience and determinism rather than enabling fundamentally new capabilities. Documentation could benefit from more detail on pipeline syntax, available commands beyond 'approve', and error handling.
