escalating

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured protocol for escalating issues when initial problem-solving attempts fail, ensuring that problems are not left unresolved and that user input is leveraged effectively.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured Escalation: Implements a 3-strike workflow (diagnose, pivot, escalate) for complex problems.
• Assumption Checking: Guides users to question fundamental assumptions when stuck.
• External Search Integration: Facilitates searching for solutions using exact error messages and context.
• User Guidance: Provides a clear, structured way to present findings and request user input for the next steps.
• Use Case: When a developer encounters a persistent bug that cannot be resolved after two distinct troubleshooting attempts, this Skill helps them systematically document their findings, search for external solutions, and then present a concise escalation report to a senior engineer or product manager for guidance.

Quick Start

Initiate the escalation protocol by running the unstuck skill with the escalating command.
