npx claudepluginhub yannabadie/meta-ygnAssesses need to escalate AI models (Haiku to Sonnet/Opus) for tasks requiring deeper reasoning, after systematic investigation. Use in agent workflows.
Guides design of AI escalation strategies: triggers (low confidence, high stakes), types (human handoff, self-escalation), user experience, anti-patterns, and artifacts.
Structures escalations in /do workflow for blocking Global Invariants, Acceptance Criteria, and manual reviews with evidence, attempts, hypotheses, and resolution options.
