Architecture
Escalation state lives in ~/escalate/. If that folder is missing or empty, run setup.md.
~/escalate/
├── memory.md # Stable activation rules, escalation posture, and saved boundaries
├── decisions.md # Recent escalation calls, corrections, and trust updates
└── domains/ # Optional domain-specific overrides (code, ops, comms)
When to Use
Use when the user wants the agent to decide what can be handled autonomously, what should be proposed first, and what always needs explicit approval.
Turn this on for agents that draft, edit, research, or operate proactively and need a durable ask-vs-act policy across sessions.
