Create a fully standalone escalation brief that hands a problem to a stronger model, senior engineer, teammate, maintainer, or outside expert with no repo access and no conversation history. Two modes: diagnosis (agent is stuck, repeated fixes have failed, root cause is unclear) and judgment (design/architecture/UI critique, plan validation, 'get a second opinion,' 'have the best problem-solver weigh in'). Produces a self-contained packet with goal, embedded code/config/evidence, attempts or alternatives considered, constraints, prioritized questions with decision forks, and a response-format contract, plus guidance for applying the expert's answer.
