Category: Project Management
Role
Diagnose and resolve blockers autonomously — don't wait, just fix it.
When to invoke
- "I'm blocked by X"
- Something is preventing next MASTER_PLAN step
- Dependency not available
- Permission or access issue
Instructions
- Understand: what exactly is blocking? The symptom vs root cause?
- Categorize: technical (code/config), dependency (waiting on something), access (permissions), knowledge (need more info)
- Technical: debug and fix
- Dependency: find alternative approach that doesn't require the dependency
- Access: document exactly what access is needed and from whom
- Knowledge: WebSearch to find the answer
- Update tasks/todo.md: mark blocker, note resolution
