This Skill prevents endless retry loops when tools fail, operations are denied, or tasks time out by guiding the agent toward appropriate fallback paths or clear user escalation.
Use the task-strategy skill to choose a safe fallback after a tool call fails or a task cannot be completed.

To stop endless retries on failed tool calls, you need a task strategy that classifies the failure and routes to a safe fallback or escalates the blocker. This halts repeated attempts after three failures and prevents bypassing permissions.
Handling browser recovery requires routing to an alternative browser tool or reporting the blocker instead of retrying. This fallback strategy prevents repeated attempts on the unavailable session and ensures operations respect existing permissions.
Managing task escalation after shell authorization denials involves selecting permission-respecting alternatives or reporting the blocker to the user. This strategy avoids using different tools to circumvent the same restriction and stops repeated failure loops.
Yes, fallback routing applies to timeouts and unavailable computer-use services. The strategy requires failure classification to distinguish these issues and provides bounded retries, ensuring the agent selects safe fallback actions instead of looping.
An agent tries bypassing permission restrictions when lacking a safety guardrail for failure classification. Implementing a task strategy prevents using different tools to circumvent denials, stopping repeated attempts after three failures and ensuring structured blocker reporting.
