Skills blocked-page-fallback

Recover when a web page is thin, blocked, JS-heavy, region-limited, or fetch-incompatible by switching to lawful fallback paths instead of stopping early.

Blocked Page Fallback

Use this skill when normal web fetch/search is not enough, but the goal may still be reachable through alternate lawful paths.

Do Not Do

  • do not bypass login
  • do not evade anti-bot or access controls
  • do not brute-force endpoints

Fallback Ladder

1. Broaden discovery

  • search multiple engines
  • use site-specific search
  • try alternate titles, aliases, slugs, and locale variants

2. Switch transport

  • if plain fetch is thin, use a browser-rendered path
  • if browser path is noisy, pivot back to targeted fetch on discovered links

3. Pivot source types

Try allowed alternatives:

  • official docs or help centers
  • official API or export surfaces
  • feeds, sitemaps, changelogs, or release notes
  • search-engine cached snippets where available
  • public mirrors or archive copies that are openly reachable
  • reputable secondary databases

4. Use structural clues

If the exact page is blocked, search by:

  • page title fragments
  • quoted snippets
  • IDs, handles, usernames, product codes, or canonical names
  • internal link labels and breadcrumb terms

5. Keep going until confidence is earned

Do not stop after:

  • one blocked fetch
  • one empty browser render
  • one weak search pass

Stop when:

  • authoritative or converging sources answer the question
  • the remaining blocker is concrete and real
  • additional paths are now duplicative

Output Pattern

Return:

  1. primary path that failed
  2. fallback paths attempted
  3. which fallback produced signal
  4. best answer now available
  5. what would require user-authorized login or a first-party API
