| description | Resolve decision-shaped blocking gaps one at a time — Context Confidence gate failures during an active protocol, or pre-engagement requirements ambiguity routed by the Command Integrity Standing Order. |
Use this auxiliary skill only when a decision-shaped blocking gap has been found: either the active protocol or Context Confidence re-entry path surfaced it, or the Command Integrity Standing Order routed a pre-engagement requirements ambiguity here before a protocol mode loads. This skill is not a protocol mode, does not replace the active protocol, and cannot declare the planning boundary passed by itself.
For each unresolved blocking gap, triage the gap before questioning:
- Scout-shaped: the answer should come from direct file reads, focused reconnaissance, carrier scouting, or another verifiable evidence source. Send the workflow back to that evidence-gathering path instead of asking the user to decide.
- Decision-shaped: the answer depends on preference, scope, risk appetite, product intent, or authority that evidence alone cannot settle. Ask exactly one question for this gap.
- Escalation-shaped: the answer requires authority beyond the current operator, changes the mission boundary, repeatedly fails to resolve, or would weaken the active protocol's required gate. Escalate to the user.
When a gap is decision-shaped, ask one question at a time. Present your recommended answer first, then give one or two concrete alternatives when useful. Walk decision dependencies one branch at a time until the current gap is resolved; do not bundle unrelated gaps into the same question.
After the gap is answered, report the resolved decision in one short line and return control to the caller: the active protocol or Context Confidence Standing Order on re-entry, or the Protocol Gate when invoked pre-engagement. An active workflow must re-evaluate confidence and re-apply the required planning boundary gate before planning proceeds.
