Incident response & postmortem drafter

When an incident is assigned, an ops lead classifies severity, reconstructs the timeline, drafts the status updates, and writes a blameless postmortem with a 5-whys root cause and owned action items a reviewer checks — then lands one approval where you sign off.

Skills 3

  • incident-response

    Run an incident from detection through postmortem: triage and classify severity (SEV1-4), communicate factual cadenced status updates, track mitigation and timeline, then write a blameless postmortem with a 5-whys root cause and owned action items. Adapted from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/incident-response.

  • risk-assessment

    Classify the risk of contributing factors using a severity × likelihood matrix (1-25 score, Green/Yellow/Orange/Red) to prioritize which remediations matter most and what warrants escalation. Adapted from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/risk-assessment.

  • stakeholder-update

    Generate an incident update tailored to audience and cadence — internal/engineering detail, a leadership status with color and asks, or a plain customer-facing message — leading with the conclusion and staying factual. Adapted from anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins/stakeholder-update.

Requirements

What this template expects to do its job. Task Machine does not verify these — you decide whether your setup is ready.

  • Incident source data — Alert details, monitoring graphs, the incident chat/war-room thread, deploy and change logs, and on-call notes for the incident being written up. The agent works from what you connect or attach.
