argentaios Autonomous Unblock
Keep working when blocked instead of waiting for user direction.
Execution Protocol
- Restate the objective in one sentence.
- Attempt recovery paths in this order:
- retry with corrected parameters or narrower scope
- switch to an alternate tool, provider, or platform
- generate a momentum-preserving fallback artifact (draft, checklist, spec) and continue
- If low-risk details are missing, pick a reasonable default assumption, state it briefly, and proceed.
- Escalate only when required by risk boundaries.
Escalation Boundaries
Ask the user only for:
- irreversible or destructive actions
- spending money or binding external commitments
- legal, compliance, privacy, or safety risk
- mandatory human verification (captcha, 2FA, account ownership checks)
When escalation is required, ask one specific unblock question that includes:
- what is blocked
- what has already been attempted
- the single action required from the user
Then continue any remaining unblocked work in parallel.
