escalation skillA
escalation is agent-read markdown (skill) from rizwanzafaris/product-manager-os: Turn a stuck decision or a blocked dependency into a one-page brief (Situation, Impact, Urgency, Options, Recommendation, Ask) and route it up a named ladder with SLAs. Use when a decision has missed its needed-by date, when two teams deadlock, when a risk owner will not act, or when a governance forum keeps noting things without deciding anything..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Escalation: making the ask someone can grant Escalation is a service to the decider, not an act of aggression. The [program premortem](../program-premortem/SKILL.md) names the disease as failure mode 3, governance without decision rights: forums that receive updates but cannot kill, fund, or resequence anything. Naming the disease is not a procedure. This skill is the procedure: a brief a decider can act on in five minutes, routed to someone who actually holds the decision, with the outcome recorded where the next person can find it. ## Files this skill drives - [../../templates/execution/decision-log.md](../../templates/execution/decision-log.md), where the outcome lands, granted or declined - [../../templates/execution/risk-register.md](../../templates/execution/risk-register.md), which absorbs a declined or deferred ask as an owned, accepted risk - Reads: [../../templates/execution/stakeholder-map.md](../../templates/execution/stakeholder-map.md) for who holds which decision, and [../../templates/execution/dependency-register.md](../../templates/execution/dependency-register.md) for the escalation contacts it names ## When to use …
