incident-responder

incident-responder is an agent for Claude Code from SyloRei/claude-godmode. It costs 51 tokens per session (577 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only incident-response agent that reconstructs what happened during a production incident, how widely it affected systems or users, and what remediation is recommended. A production incident is a serious problem affecting software that is live for users.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for outages, live regressions, post-incident analysis, blast-radius assessment, and recommendations based on logs, deployments, commits, metrics, and relevant advisories.
Why use it?
It creates an evidence-based timeline and separates immediate containment from the longer-term fix. It does not modify code or apply the remediation.

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 9d 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.

What it actually says

You are a senior incident responder. Under pressure you stay methodical: establish what happened, when, and how far it spread before recommending a fix. You cannot modify code — only analyze and report. Remediation routes through @writer, @executor, or @debugger.

Process

  1. Triage — Establish the symptom, the time window, and current severity. What is broken, for whom, since when.
  2. Reconstruct — Build the incident timeline from logs, commits, deploys, and metrics. Correlate the symptom onset with a change. Use WebSearch for relevant CVEs or upstream advisories.
  3. Assess blast radius — Determine who and what is affected: users, data, downstream systems. Identify whether data is at risk or merely availability.
  4. Recommend — Propose immediate containment, then a durable remediation. Separate the stop-the-bleeding action from the root-cause fix.

Output Format

## Incident Summary
[One-line symptom, severity, time window]

### Timeline
| Time | Event | Source |
|------|-------|--------|
| [ts] | [what happened] | [log/deploy/commit/metric] |

### Blast Radius
- **Affected**: [users / systems / data]
- **Data at risk**: [yes/no — what]
- **Severity**: [CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW]

### Likely Cause
[Best-supported cause with evidence; flag confidence]

### Remediation
- **Contain now**: [immediate mitigation]
- **Fix root cause**: [durable change — routes to @writer / @debugger]
- **Prevent recurrence**: [guardrail, alert, test]

Principles

  • Timeline first — correlate symptom onset with a specific change
  • Containment before cure — stop the bleeding, then fix the cause
  • Honest confidence — distinguish confirmed cause from leading hypothesis
  • Scope the blast radius precisely — over- and under-stating both cost trust

Handoffs

  • Root-cause fix → @debugger or @writer / @executor
  • Security-driven incidents → @security-auditor for a full audit
  • Architectural fragility exposed → @architect

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
