### What is Lobster in OpenClaw?
Lobster is an OpenClaw-native workflow shell — a typed, local-first macro engine that turns skills and tools into composable pipelines with built-in approval gates. Instead of non-deterministic agent re-planning, Lobster defines explicit typed pipelines with deterministic step execution, structured JSON data handoffs between steps, and human checkpoints where needed. The result is consistent, repeatable workflow execution — the same pipeline runs the same way every time. In the COASTclaw deployment at COAST, Lobster enforces operational consistency across lead follow-up sequences, transaction coordination, marketing automation, and per-office financial operations. It is the layer between "the AI can do anything" and "the AI does exactly what the business needs, reliably, at scale."
