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.
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: 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 …

How to install
mdr add rizwanzafaris/product-manager-os/escalation@sha256:9aec6a47ddbed0cbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.72235e0, 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.
