description: Invoke the Andon Cord Protocol — pause all work, identify root cause, do not resume until blocker is resolved
Andon Cord Protocol
Invoking the Andon Cord. All current tasks are pausing.
What happens now
- All current tasks PAUSE — no exceptions, nothing continues until the blocker is identified
- Acknowledge the stop in exactly one sentence — no defending prior strategy, no explaining, no apologizing
- Ask one question only: "What broke and what
Alternatives in Development
- Root Cause Tracing — Use when errors occur deep in execution and you need to trace back to find the original trigger 102.5k ★
- Engage.Crash — Crash → root cause → reachability → empirical exploitability verdict (native bugs) 348 ★
- Cloud Run Debug — Diagnose a failing Cloud Run service — Antigravity (agy/Gemini) digests the error logs cheaply, Claude infers 284 ★
