escalate-issues SKILL.md skillA

escalate-issues from pjt222/agent-almanac is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/escalate-issues@v1.0

Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Triage maintenance problems by severity, document findings with context, route to appropriate specialist agent or human, and create actionable issue reports. Use when a maintenance task encounters problems beyond automated cleanup: code that is unsafe to delete, configuration changes requiring domain expertise, breaking changes detected during cleanup, complex refactoring needed, or security-sensitive findings such as hardcoded secrets or vulnerabilities.

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

# escalate-issues

## When to Use

Use this skill when a maintenance task encounters problems beyond automated cleanup:

- Uncertain whether code is safe to delete
- Configuration changes require domain expertise (security, performance, architecture)
- Breaking changes detected during cleanup
- Complex refactoring needed (not just cleanup)
- Security-sensitive findings (hardcoded secrets, vulnerabilities)

**Do NOT use** for simple issues with clear fixes. Escalate only when automated cleanup is risky or insufficient.

## Inputs

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `issue_description` | string | Yes | Clear description of the problem |
| `severity` | enum | Yes | `critical`, `high`, `medium`, `low` |
| `context_files` | array | No | Paths to relevant files |
| `specialist` | string | No | Target agent (auto-route if not specified) |
| `blocking` | boolean | No | Whether issue blocks further cleanup (default: false) |

## Procedure

### Step 1: Assess Severity

Classify the issue using standard severity levels.

**CRITICAL** — Blocks production functionality:
- Broken imports in actively used code

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/escalate-issues@sha256:1eda11c2e3676320

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
