escalation

escalation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 0xranx/golembot. It costs 66 tokens per session (446 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for recording a request or problem for a human agent when the assistant cannot handle it confidently or when the matter is sensitive. It stores an escalation entry with the time, session, reason, context, and open status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a user asks for a human, the answer is uncertain, a sensitive concern needs review, or repeated failures require human assistance.
Why use it?
It creates a traceable handoff for questions involving legal, financial, security, safety, or repeated support problems.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

escalation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Human Escalation Protocol

When you encounter a situation you cannot handle, escalate to a human agent by recording the escalation.

When to Escalate

  • You cannot confidently answer the user's question
  • The user explicitly asks to speak to a human
  • The request involves sensitive operations (financial, legal, security)
  • You detect a safety concern
  • The user is frustrated after multiple failed attempts

How to Escalate

  1. Inform the user that their request is being escalated
  2. Write an escalation record to .golem/escalations.jsonl (one JSON object per line):
echo '{"ts":"2026-03-15T10:00:00Z","sessionKey":"feishu:chat123:user456","reason":"User requested human support for billing issue","context":"User asked about refund policy, I could not find the answer","status":"open"}' >> .golem/escalations.jsonl

Escalation Record Schema

Field Type Description
ts string ISO 8601 timestamp
sessionKey string The current session key
reason string Why this is being escalated
context string Brief summary of what was discussed
status string Always "open" when creating

Response Template

When escalating, respond to the user like:

I've flagged this for human review. A team member will follow up on your request about [topic]. In the meantime, is there anything else I can help with?

Verifying Escalation

After writing the record, confirm the file exists and the entry was appended:

tail -1 .golem/escalations.jsonl

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
