# Correct Course
Run this skill when something has changed — new information, a failed assumption, a reshaped scope — and the current pipeline artifact can no longer be trusted. `/correct-course` diagnoses the blast radius, names the earliest skill that needs to re-run, and walks you through cleaning up stale artifacts before forward motion resumes.
This is the named, invocable form of the Pipeline Recovery rules in `references/SYSTEM-OVERVIEW.md` (bundled alongside this skill). Those rules still apply — this skill just gives them a front door.
> **One question per turn.** Throughout this skill, ask one question at a time and wait for the user's answer before asking the next. Backtracking is a conversation, not a form.
>
> **Prefer single-select.** Use single-select multiple choice when the user is choosing one direction, one priority, or one next step.
>
> **Use multi-select rarely.** Reserve it for compatible sets — goals, constraints, non-goals, success criteria — that can all coexist. If prioritization matters, follow up asking which selected item is primary.
>
> **Use the platform's question tool when available.** In Claude Code, use `AskUserQuestion`; in Codex, `request_user_input`; in Gemini, `ask_user`. Otherwise, present numbered options in chat and wait for the user's reply before proceeding.
## Invocation Position
This is a side-route skill that reconnects to the main pipeline at whichever earlier skill the diagnosis points to.
