Use when

Trigger signals that make this skill the right owner

  • design fallback degradation timeout bulkhead circuit breaker and recovery behavior

Do not use when

Anti-triggers — as binding as the triggers above

  • no task-local degradation circuit breaking decision is required

Required inputs

What must be supplied before this skill can decide anything

  • current task contract
  • selected primary Professional Skill
  • task-local trigger evidence

Output contract

What this skill owes the next role

  • resilience plan with timeouts fallbacks circuit thresholds and recovery checks, evidence, and proof limits

Escalation signals

When this skill must hand the decision back

  • No degradation path turns dependency failures into full outages

Loaded by

This skill never owns a task. These professionals may pull it in as Layer 3.

Targeted references

Each reference carries its own load condition. None of them enter context by default.
