escalation-flagger

escalation-flagger is a skill for Claude Code from uk-agents/uk-legal-plugins. It costs 115 tokens per session (2,385 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for deciding who should approve a contract issue under a UK legal team's escalation rules. It also covers certain possible referrals to UK bodies such as the Competition and Markets Authority, Financial Conduct Authority, Information Commissioner's Office, and Companies House.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need to escalate a contract deviation, approval question, or regulatory trigger. It drafts the facts, options, recommendation, and decision deadline for the appropriate person or role.
Why use it?
Contract problems can be delayed when nobody knows who has authority to decide. This matches the issue to an approval matrix and prepares the request without sending it.

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-flagger 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/escalation-flagger

Names the approver for a contract issue per the ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/commercial-legal-uk/CLAUDE.md escalation matrix and drafts the message so you're not writing "hey got a sec" at 5pm.

Instructions

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/commercial-legal-uk/CLAUDE.md → Escalation section. If missing, say so — the practice profile needs editing.

  2. Characterize the issue: pound threshold / term deviation / automatic trigger / regulatory trigger / business decision.

  3. Match to matrix, name the approver. Be specific — a person or role, not "legal leadership."

  4. Draft the ask per the template below: what the contract says, what playbook says, options with recommendation, decision-by date.

  5. Do not send. Draft it, show it, let the solicitor send.

Examples

/commercial-legal-uk:escalation-flagger
The Acme MSA has uncapped liability — who approves and what do I say?
/commercial-legal-uk:escalation-flagger
Reference: acme-review-memo.md
Issue: §8.2 indemnity carveouts

Matter context

Matter context. Check ## Matter workspaces in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If Enabled is , skip the rest of this paragraph. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run /commercial-legal-uk:matter-workspace switch <slug> or say practice-level." Load the active matter's matter.md. Never read another matter's files unless Cross-matter context is on.


Purpose

Every contracts team has an escalation matrix, written or not. This skill reads the written one, matches a contract issue against it, names the approver, and drafts the ask so the solicitor isn't writing "hey do you have a sec" messages at 5pm.

Load the matrix

Which side? Before matching to the matrix, determine which side the company is on for the contract being escalated. Read the matching playbook section to evaluate whether the term is inside fallbacks or triggers an automatic escalation. Note which side in the drafted ask.

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.
