Break the task out of a loop, confusion state, or false-progress state, and determine the fastest safe path forward. Diagnoses whether the issue is technical, workflow-related, or scope-related, then routes to the right recovery command and editor mode (Ask by default; Debug if the stuckness is a concrete technical failure; Plan if it is a phase or contract or sequence issue). Use when progress is looping or stalling, the same questions or reviews are being repeated, the wrong command or wrong editor mode may be in use, or when the user is unsure whether the problem is technical, workflow-related, or scope-related. Do not use when the next step is already clear, the task only needs normal routing via what-next, or when the task is brand-new and should start with task-init. When the real blocker is a vague prompt, use prompt-shape.
