Writes a tight escalation summary to engineering or management with a one-line headline, quantified customer impact, repro steps, prior attempts, and a single clear ask. Use when someone says "I need to escalate this ticket", "write this up for engineering", "this bug needs eng eyes", or a support issue must leave the queue for specialist action. Do NOT use for replying to the customer - use support-ticket-reply instead; do NOT use for assigning incident severity and coordinating an active…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Escalation Summary

Engineers and managers receive escalations all day; a well-built summary gets a response, a vague one gets queued behind everything else. The costly mistake this skill prevents is the partial escalation - sent early with "details to follow" - which burns the escalation team's first look and resets the clock on the customer. Write as if the reader has zero context and thirty seconds: if the first line does not tell them what is broken, for whom, and since when, the rest never gets read.

## Operating procedure

Order matters: qualify before gathering, gather before writing - an escalation written before the evidence exists gets bounced back for the missing pieces.

1. Qualify the escalation. Confirm the issue is genuinely outside support's scope to resolve. If a documented workaround or known fix exists, apply it instead of escalating.
2. Gather the inputs below completely. Do not start writing until everything is in hand.
3. Assign severity using the definitions below and put the label in the subject line or ticket title.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add skillmedev/skills/escalation-summary@sha256:e1eaf5cf99e2ef5e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
