Signal Flare

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 16, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · b12dd54

Unusually well-guarded for a high-stakes skill — a hard ownership-verification gate, a mandatory outline-before-prose protocol on every regulatory document, and an explicit ban on inventing facts or naming legal theories. But platforms/discord.md instructs Claude to read three Discord-specific templates (server-transfer-request.md, server-restoration-request.md, discord-partner-escalation.md) that don't exist anywhere in the repo — a real dead end for Discord server-hijacking cases specifically, undisclosed in STATUS.md or the README.

What Signal Flare does

Walks a verified, legitimate account owner through a 5-stage escalation ladder — internal legal notice, state Attorney General complaint, FTC complaint, congressional constituent services, and attorney demand letter — when standard platform support has stalled on a hijacking, ban, lockout, billing dispute, or impersonation case. Triggers on distress language like 'my account got hacked'/'support won't respond', gates hard on provable legitimate ownership before proceeding, and refuses to name legal theories or invent facts.
