clodbridge: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/solve-blockers-proactively/SKILL.md

solve-blockers-proactively is a skill for Cursor from Rethunk-AI/clodbridge. It costs 19 tokens per session (1,304 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for handling development blockers by trying reasonable workarounds, explaining failures clearly, and asking for guidance when progress cannot continue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it whenever installation, testing, compilation, permissions, external input, or another obstacle prevents reliable progress.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from silently ignoring failed tests, missing dependencies, permission errors, or unverified assumptions.

Skill for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

This is Rethunk-AI/clodbridge's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on clodbridge itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything clodbridge configures →

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

solve-blockers-proactively 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.

Solve Blockers Proactively

The Golden Rule

When you hit a blocker, don't ignore it and keep working. Either solve it or ask for help.

What's a Blocker

  • You can't run tests (npm/bun install failed)
  • You can't verify code compiles (tsc unavailable)
  • A critical dependency isn't installed
  • You can't validate your assumptions
  • A permission or filesystem error prevents progress
  • You're stuck waiting for external input

NOT a blocker: "This code seems right, I'll assume it works" (that's recklessness, not acceptance)

Decision Tree

[Hit a blocker]
    ↓
[Can I try a workaround in < 10 minutes?]
    ├─ YES → Try the workaround
    │        ├─ Worked? → Continue and commit
    │        └─ Failed? → Go to "Escalate"
    └─ NO → Go to "Escalate" immediately

[Escalate to user]
    ↓
[Explain clearly]
    ├─ "npm install failed with EROFS: read-only file system"
    ├─ "I can't run tests to verify my code"
    ├─ "TypeScript compiler isn't available"
    └─ "I need permission to write to /tmp"
    ↓
[Offer options]
    ├─ "Option A: [Workaround I tried]"
    ├─ "Option B: [Alternative approach]"
    └─ "Option C: [Proceed anyway (risky)]"
    ↓
[Wait for guidance before proceeding]

Workaround Examples

Blocker: npm install fails (EROFS)

Try in order:

  1. npm install --cache=/tmp/claude-1000/npm-cache
  2. npm install --cache=/tmp
  3. bun install
  4. export BUN_TMPDIR=/tmp/claude-1000/bun && bun install

If none work, escalate:

npm and bun both hit sandbox restrictions.

Options:
1) Install dependencies outside Claude Code on your machine
2) I continue without running tests (risky)
3) We validate code using an online TypeScript playground
4) I write code assuming correctness and you test it

Blocker: tsc not available

Try in order:

  1. npx tsc --noEmit (use node_modules/.bin)
  2. bun run typecheck
  3. npm run typecheck
  4. Read the TypeScript files and spot-check for obvious errors
  5. Use an online TypeScript playground (tsc.run, TypeScript Playground)

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.
