SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When a task is blocked beyond the defined wait window and the blocker remains unresolved, this skill automatically escalates through a predefined chain to restore progress and notify the right teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic escalation chain for blocked tasks: wake the blocker assignee via @-mention, escalate to the blocker’s manager, then to the coordinator agent, and finally create an urgent notification if needed.
  • Mode Check and scoring integration: adheres to mode-check instructions and scoring guidelines to decide whether to auto-escalate or provide analysis.
  • Integration with task-orchestrator: invoked when wake attempts exceed the configured limit and uses the platform API to determine the chain of command.
  • Safety and governance: aligns with Superpowers integration to verify the blocker still exists before escalation and to maintain auditability.

Quick Start

Escalate a blocked task automatically when the blocker is unresponsive beyond the configured timeouts.

Frequently Asked Questions about neb-auto-escalate

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I auto-escalate blocked tasks when blockers time out?▼

Task orchestration workflows handle this by implementing a multi-level escalation with timeouts, agent notifications, and human operator alerts when a blocker remains unresponsive beyond configured limits.

What is the escalation chain for unresponsive task blockers?▼

The escalation chain for unresponsive task blockers sequentially wakes the blocker assignee via @-mention, escalates to the blocker's manager, notifies the coordinator agent, and finally creates an urgent human operator alert.

How does mode check and scoring integration affect task escalation?▼

Mode check and scoring integration evaluates mode-check instructions and scoring guidelines to decide whether to auto-escalate blocked tasks immediately or provide analysis before taking action.

Do I need a task-orchestrator to automate blocked task notifications?▼

A task-orchestrator is required for automated blocked task notifications, as it invokes escalation when wake attempts exceed the configured limit and uses platform APIs to determine the chain of command.

What safety and governance checks apply before escalating a blocked task?▼

Safety and governance checks use Superpowers integration to verify the blocker still exists before escalating a blocked task and maintain auditability throughout the task-orchestration workflow.
