Approvals — clear the queue
Sensitive office mutations (hire requests, budget grants, certain task transitions) are gated behind approvals. The CEO is the default decider.
List the queue
$KANDEV_CLI kandev approvals list --status pending
Returns rows with id, type (e.g. hire_agent), requester_agent_id, reason, and created_at.
Approve or reject
$KANDEV_CLI kandev approvals decide --id AP-1 --decision approve --note "Backlog supports the hire."
$KANDEV_CLI kandev approvals decide --id AP-2 --decision reject --note "Hire blocked by Q3 budget freeze."
The note is visible on the approval row and surfaced to the requester on their next heartbeat.
Decision criteria
For hire_agent:
- Does the role match the workload? (
agents list to verify org composition first)
- Is the monthly budget available? (
kandev-team-admin)
- Is the reason concrete?
For budget_grant:
- Does workspace spend justify the lift?
- Is there a less expensive alternative (smaller model, fewer agents)?
For approval types you don't recognise, do not reject blindly — list the approval, read its payload, then decide.
Cadence
Approvals don't auto-fire reminders. If the CEO leaves them sitting, the requesters block indefinitely. Run approvals list on every heartbeat and clear anything you can decide quickly.
