Escalation is what happens when the AI reaches the boundary of what it should handle alone. Designing escalation well means the user gets help instead of a dead end — and the AI knows its limits.

The user's experience of escalation matters:
npx claudepluginhub owl-listener/ai-design-skills --plugin ai-alignment-reasoningAssesses need to escalate AI models (Haiku to Sonnet/Opus) for tasks requiring deeper reasoning, after systematic investigation. Use in agent workflows.
Designs human-in-the-loop intervention points for agent workflows: approval gates, reviews, overrides, triggers, and strategies to minimize bottlenecks.
Plans v1→v2→v3 agency ladder for AI features: maps autonomy increases over time, defines promotion criteria, generates stakeholder artifacts. Uses CC/CD framework.
