Bernstein Approvals

Review and approve or reject pending tasks and plans in Bernstein.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/bernstein-approve-sipyourdrink-ltd/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)
    Sign up to copy
  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

What this skill does

Review pending approvals and plans, then approve or reject them.

When to Use

  • User asks "any pending approvals?" or "what needs my review?"
  • User wants to approve or reject a completed task
  • User wants to review and approve/reject a plan before agents execute it

[Approve] [Reject]

Approve or reject

  1. When the user decides:

    • Approve: scripts/approvals.sh approve <task_id> "reason"
    • Reject: scripts/approvals.sh reject <task_id> "reason"
  2. For plans (multi-task proposals):

    • List plans: scripts/approvals.sh plans
    • Approve plan: scripts/approvals.sh approve-plan <plan_id>
    • Reject plan: scripts/approvals.sh reject-plan <plan_id>

After approval

  1. Confirm the action and note what happens next:
    • Approved tasks → agent commits and merges
    • Approved plans → planned tasks promoted to open, agents start picking them up
    • Rejected → task goes back to open for retry, or gets cancelled
