5 source-grounded skills. Load one workflow at a time.

Design Escalation Trigger

Use this workflow when a team needs objective thresholds and a safe path for moving customer, delivery, operational, security, financial, or people risk to an owner with enough authority before it becomes a crisis.

Output specification

Return an escalation trigger design with risk_class, normal_state, trigger_rules, minimum_evidence, state_changes, decision_rights, response_sla, resolution_and_handback, and trust_controls.

Draft Escalation Packet

Use this workflow when scattered signals, local narratives, and rising urgency must become a short evidence-backed artifact that asks the proper owner for a specific decision and defines action, communication, review, and resolution.

Output specification

Return an escalation packet with risk_and_trigger, evidence_timeline, impact, options_and_tradeoffs, decision_request, recommendation, state_change, communication, and resolution_and_handback.

Manage Customer Escalation

Use this workflow when an unresolved customer issue, commitment breach, renewal risk, or loss of confidence needs earlier internal authority, truthful communication, coordinated action, and measurable trust repair without defensiveness or unsupported promises.

Output specification

Return a customer escalation plan with verified_risk, internal_decision, owners_and_authority, containment_and_options, customer_message, update_cadence, trust_measures, and closure_and_repair.

Repair Escalation System

Use this workflow when recent escalations were late, noisy, punitive, repetitive, executive-dependent, or AI-assisted and the organization must audit detection, triggers, authority, packets, response, resolution, trust, and learning before the next risk matures.

Output specification

Return an escalation system repair with case_reconstruction, detection_and_delay, triggers_and_rights, packet_and_response, resolution_and_handback, trust, ai_sensing, and repair_backlog.

Scope Executive Intervention

Use this workflow when an escalated risk is stuck on a cross-functional tradeoff, resource conflict, authority gap, customer commitment, or exception that only an executive can resolve and the intervention needs a bounded job and clean exit.

Output specification

Return an executive intervention brief with risk_and_trigger, why_executive, decision_job, options_and_dissent, temporary_rights, decision_record, execution_and_communication, and exit_and_handback.

Keep consequential decisions explicit.

These workflows structure analysis and artifacts; they do not authorize autonomous external, personnel, financial, legal, security, or other high-impact action.
