alexgaoth/escalate-anything

---

Tell your agent what went wrong. Escalate Anything gives it the company’s real playbook: the exact form, phone line and deadline, the evidence to collect, the rules that apply, and the escalation ladder up to the regulator in your state. Your agent keeps a case log, follows up on time, and drafts each message for you to approve.

Every value links to the page it came from, with the date it was checked. A weekly routine re-checks the data, and your installed copy updates itself.

Quick start

Set up your agent

With uv installed, run:

uvx escalate-anything setup

It finds your AI apps (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI, Codex, LM Studio and more), shows the changes, and asks before writing. Each config is backed up first. Restart your app afterward.

Or install with one click: Cursor · VS Code · LM Studio · Goose. Claude Code users can add the plugin, which also includes the skills: claude plugin marketplace add alexgaoth/escalate-anything && claude plugin install escalate-anything@escalate-anything.

Ask your agent

United lost my bag on Friday's ORD→SFO flight. Use Escalate Anything to get me reimbursed.

My internet bill went from $80 to $105. Get it back down.

Use the terminal

uvx escalate-anything playbook comcast-xfinity bill_increase --state CA
uvx escalate-anything playbook united-airlines delayed_baggage --state IL
uvx escalate-anything lookup "spectrum"

Walkthroughs

A delayed United bag

The playbook in the image above, from United’s own pages: report within 24 hours (21 days if international), claim expenses within 45 days, use the exact claim form and the Baggage Recovery Center number, and check the automatic bag-fee refund owed after a 12-hour domestic delay under the DOT refund rule. If United doesn’t answer, the next rung is a DOT complaint.

An internet bill that jumped $25

The Xfinity playbook checks whether a promotion ended or the 5-Year Price Guarantee was broken, then gives the retention line, the dispute window from the subscriber agreement, and the FCC complaint as the next rung.

Also included, as a side feature: each company’s scam warnings (what it says it will never ask for, scams that use its name, where to report them), a scam guide, and scam_check for a quick red-flag read of a suspicious message.

Fresh and credible

• Every value has a source and a date. Every company gets a credibility grade (A, B or C) from how much of its data comes from its own pages or government sites, and from what was only seen in a search snippet or an archive.
• Agents see it too. Each answer says when the company was last verified and how credible it is.
• A weekly routine keeps it current. It checks every link, opens a freshness report, and a Claude routine re-verifies stale values and proposes fixes as pull requests. Maintainers review every change.
• Your copy updates itself once a week (escalate update; ESCALATE_OFFLINE=1 to turn it off).

How it works: docs/maintenance.md.

Contribute

• A number or link is wrong? Report it. A maintainer labels it, and the routine checks it against the official page and opens the fix.
• Something worked for you? Share your case.
• Want a company added? Ask for it, or add the YAML yourself; see CONTRIBUTING.md.
