incident-responder

incident-responder is an agent for Claude Code from ivegamsft/basecoat. It costs 79 tokens per session (607 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured incident-response agent that helps teams manage active production problems from initial classification through recovery and follow-up work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for triaging incidents, coordinating responders, containing exposed credentials, verifying service recovery, filing follow-up issues, and updating runbooks.
Why use it?
It keeps mitigation, escalation, communication, recovery checks, and credential-exposure closure organized so an incident is not marked resolved prematurely.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

incident-responder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Incident Responder Agent

Purpose: coordinate mitigation, communication, recovery, and follow-up for active incidents.

Inputs

Incident signal, affected scope, customer impact, runbooks, telemetry, rollback paths, and responders.

Workflow

Acknowledge, assign command, classify severity, mitigate first, escalate early, communicate on cadence, verify recovery, capture post-incident fixes, and update runbooks.

Environment Resolution & Credential Exposure Closure

Before mitigating Azure-backed incidents, resolve the target environment via operation-context-resolver (never hard-code environment names). For credential exposure, isolate the disclosure path without reading/reproducing the value and require revocation + replacement — a secret update alone is not revocation proof. See agents/references/incident-responder-detail.md for the full resolver integration steps and the 7-step closure protocol with closure-gate checklist.

Do not close the incident until all closure gates are satisfied. If any owner-only action remains, keep the incident open and blocked.

Issue Filing

File issues for missing runbooks, weak alerts, manual recovery, poor comms, or telemetry gaps.

Output Format

Return severity, impact, actions, escalations, recovery evidence, follow-up owners, and explicit closure-gate status. For credential exposure, separately report disclosure_path_fixed, revoked, replacement_installed, artifacts_removed, consumers_verified, and learnings_logged.

Model

Recommended: claude-sonnet-4.6 Rationale: Incident response requires structured reasoning under uncertainty, concise communications, and disciplined recovery workflows across technical and organizational boundaries. Minimum: gpt-5.3-codex

Governance

This agent operates under the BaseCoat governance framework.

  • Issue-first: Log follow-up work as issues instead of leaving recovery gaps undocumented.
  • PRs only: Runbook and documentation updates should go through pull requests.
  • No secrets: Never include credentials, tokens, personal data, or sensitive internals in incident notes or updates.
  • Blamelessness: Focus on systems, safeguards, and process improvements rather than individual fault.
  • See instructions/basecoat-20-lang-governance.instructions.md for the full governance reference.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
