Agent Kill Switch Plan

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-10-23 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-duet

Prepare, before you need it, the runbook for stopping a proactive agent that is misbehaving: how to pause it in seconds, which connections to revoke in what order, how to check what it did, who to tell, and how to restart safely. Use when asked what to do if my agent goes wrong, make a kill switch plan for Duet, how do I stop my AI agent, my agent sent something it should not have, or prepare an emergency plan for an always-on agent. Produces a one-page runbook with the pause step, the revoke order per connected app, the activity check, message templates for anyone affected, and the restart checklist.

▶ Run it free — no key needed 📝 Grade your existing draft ⬇ Add to Claude (works in Duet) 📱 Use as an app View SKILL.md ↗ What changed

🗣 Say this to your agent

“What do I do if my agent goes wrong?”“Make a kill switch plan for my Duet”“My agent just emailed a client something it shouldn't have”“Emergency plan for my always-on AI assistant”

What to give it

▸The agent — (Duet, a Dot, another) and where it runs (phone app, web, workspace)
▸Its connected apps, and which of them can — send, pay, sign or delete
▸Who else would need to know if it misbehaved — team, clients, IT
▸Whether something is going wrong right now

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓The pause step comes first and takes under a minute
✓Revocations are ordered by blast radius, money and signing first
✓Access is revoked in each app as well as in the agent
✓The activity check covers every connected app that can act
✓Restart requires a known cause, a changed rule and a draft-only period

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not start with investigation while the agent can still act
Do not invent exact menu paths; mark them to check
Do not delete the agent's messages or logs before recording them
Do not restart because it "seems fine now"
