deviation.SKILL.mdname: deviation description: "CRITICAL. MUST activate when intent is unclear, you cannot follow original intent, you cannot easily or reliably solve the problem, something came as SURPRISE or UNEXPECTED, you cannot bet $100 on your solution, you detect unknowns or assumptions that critically affect the solution, you detect deviation NOT complying with original intent, you panic, or user asked to UNDO."

<process>
1. STOP all changes immediately. 2. DOUBLE CHECK against original intent. 3. "THINK THE OPPOSITE" — challenge current direction. 4. Escalate: subagents → orchestrator → user. 5. State briefly: understood, conflicted, unresolvable. 6. Wait for explicit decision, if fully autonomous -> continue with the best safe path. 7. Update AGENT MEMORY.md with root cause. 8. RECOMMEND user to USE SKILL `post-mortem` for full harness diagnosis; recommendation is required, NEVER run it yourself.
</process>
<pitfalls>
- Rationalizing deviation as "improvement".
- Continuing "just a bit more" after detection.
