How does it know which frameworks I am using?

The skill automatically detects your project's language and framework by analyzing file extensions, error patterns, and manifest files like package.json, pyproject.toml, or go.mod.

Can I use this for any programming language?

Yes, while it performs best with supported knowledge packs, its core logic works across any environment by utilizing bash, grep, and web search tools to investigate and solve errors.

What is the three-strike workflow?

It is a sequential protocol that first attempts to Diagnose the issue, then Pivots to a new strategy if the first fails, and finally Escalates the problem to ensure a resolution is found without repeating failed steps.

Does this skill create permanent records?

Yes, it generates a markdown-based Root Cause Analysis (RCA) file in your project's docs/rcas/ directory to document the problem, the investigation steps, and the eventual resolution.

生产力与工作流

Automates a structured error escalation protocol using a three-strike workflow to diagnose, pivot, and resolve complex development bottlenecks.

Getting Unstuck provides a rigorous, structured methodology for resolving persistent coding errors and debugging deadlocks within Claude Code. By implementing a systematic "three-strike" escalation protocol—moving from initial diagnosis to strategic pivoting and finally to guided escalation—the skill ensures developers don't waste time repeating failed attempts. It automatically documents the entire investigation process by generating persistent Root Cause Analysis (RCA) files, leveraging framework-specific knowledge packs, and utilizing a suite of diagnostic tools to move from failure to resolution with minimal friction.
