Use when a software project is late, repeatedly missing commitments, blocked by failing builds or deployments, carrying uncontrolled scope, lacking clear ownership, or requiring a recovery plan before normal feature work can continue.From its SKILL.md

Rescuing Software Projects
Restore control before optimizing architecture or adding scope. The first outcome is reliable visibility and a small confidence-restoring release.
- RULE-RESCUE-01: Freeze new scope temporarily. Establish a reproducible build, test, deployment, and status view; record what is actually working rather than relying on plans or confidence.
- RULE-RESCUE-02: Inventory commitments, owners, dependencies, blockers, and the critical path. Mark commitments as keep, renegotiate, defer, or cancel with an accountable decision owner.
- RULE-RESCUE-03: Classify blockers as product, technical, dependency, people/ownership, operational, or decision latency. Remove non-critical work and create the smallest release that restores trust or usable value.
- RULE-RESCUE-04: Do not start a broad rewrite or platform migration unless it directly removes the current critical-path blocker and has a reversible proof point.
- RULE-RESCUE-05: Track daily evidence: passing checks, deployability, blocker age, decision latency, scope change, and remaining risk. Re-baseline roadmap and ownership only after the recovery release is stable.
