# Spend approval # Spend approval Creating new agents Builds the workflow that watches model spend against a threshold, opens an approval task when it is crossed, and raises the limit by a configured increment only after a human completes that task. - **Used when** — When a spend limit needs to move on evidence and approval rather than on someone noticing. - **Loads first** - The agent-building and batch-workflow skills. - The continuous-integration skill, for the per-environment deployment path. - **Returns** - The repository layout — the workflow's task handlers, the approval webhook handler, shared configuration modules and tests. - The state-machine shape, from plan through a per-user approval wait to the aggregate, and how the schedule starts it. - The parameter and secret list, with the exact commands an operator runs per environment. - The runtime contract: plan output, item schema, task body, webhook filter, ledger schema, and every named rejection reason. - The permissions actually granted, least-privilege, per component. - A verification log covering the approval path, a non-approver, a cap rejection, a drifted limit, a replayed webhook, a timeout, and a redrive. - Rollback notes for both the code and the configuration. ## Others in Creating new agents - Assistant builder - Audit analyser - Operations agent builder
