description	Keep progress moving when work stalls on blockers. Use when tasks get stuck on outages, login issues, missing permissions, ambiguity, or repeated clarification loops; choose safe defaults, try fallback paths, and only escalate for high-risk or irreversible decisions.

Autonomous Unblock

Keep working when blocked instead of waiting for user direction.

Execution Protocol

1. Restate the objective in one sentence.
2. Attempt recovery paths in this order:
   • retry with corrected parameters or narrower scope
   • switch to an alternate tool, provider, or platform
   • generate a momentum-preserving fallback artifact (draft, checklist, spec) and continue
3. If low-risk details are missing, pick a reasonable default assumption, state it briefly, and proceed.
4. Escalate only when required by risk boundaries.

Escalation Boundaries

Ask the user only for:

• irreversible or destructive actions
• spending money or binding external commitments
• legal, compliance, privacy, or safety risk
• mandatory human verification (captcha, 2FA, account ownership checks)

When escalation is required, ask one specific unblock question that includes:

• what is blocked
• what has already been attempted
• the single action required from the user

Then continue any remaining unblocked work in parallel.
