Slack-approved pause for idle Hugging Face Spaces
On a daily scan it finds idle paid Spaces and posts an interactive Slack approval; on approve it pauses the Space and logs the decision to a GitHub issue audit trail.

What it does
Finds idle Hugging Face Spaces on paid hardware and, instead of pausing them automatically, asks for a human yes-or-no in Slack. When the owner approves, it pauses the Space and records who approved and when in a GitHub issue so there is a clean audit trail.
When to use it
When some Spaces are sensitive enough that auto-pausing is risky, but you still want idle compute flagged daily and paused with one click plus a paper trail.
How it works
- 1A daily schedule starts the scan.
- 2List paid-hardware Spaces and their idle time via the Hugging Face API.
- 3A filter keeps Spaces idle past the threshold.
- 4Post an interactive Slack approval message per candidate showing tier, idle time, and projected savings.
- 5On approval, call the Hugging Face API to pause the Space.
- 6Append the decision (Space, approver, timestamp) to a GitHub audit issue.
Set it up
What you configure once, before turning it on.
- 1Connect Hugging FaceModels, datasets, spaces — the open-source hub.
- 2Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
- 3Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
- 4Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
- 5Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
- 6Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
