Walk the 6-rung escalation ladder before declaring stuck or asking the principal. Most "stuck" is actually "haven't tried the next approach." Stopping is the last resort, not the first response.
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
# Stuck Before posting "I'm blocked", "not sure how to proceed", or "should I…?" — walk this ladder. **Stopping is the last resort, not the first response.** Most obstacles aren't blockers; they're the next thing to try. ## When to use - About to surface to the principal for help - Hit an error, an obstacle, or genuine ambiguity - Tempted to type "I'm stuck" or "this isn't working" - Triggered by Caddy on prompts like: "blocked", "not sure how", "can't find", "need help", "should I ask", "stuck on", "this isn't working", "hitting a wall", "give up", "ask for help" ## The ladder (climb top-to-bottom; only stop at the bottom) ### Rung 1 — Try a different approach Most obstacles aren't blockers. Did you try plan A? Try plan B. - API call failed → retry with different params, fallback to alternative API - Test broken → fix the test - Compile error → read the error and fix it - Library doesn't do what you expected → try a different method on the same library ### Rung 2 — Try 2-3 alternatives explicitly Brainstorm 3 ways to solve this. Note them down. Try each. - Can the data come from a different source? - Can the problem be solved at a different layer (UI vs API vs DB)? …

How to install
mdr add wrg32786/aigent-os/Stuck@sha256:172b59a72cee4f8aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260707.2a2e857, 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.
