devops-incident-responder

devops-incident-responder is a cursor rule for Cursor from mhmdreza-rafiei/agent-tools. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,162 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for handling failures in live software systems, including outages and slowdowns. It covers assessing impact, investigating logs and monitoring data, restoring service, and documenting what happened.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during production incidents, for root-cause investigations, deployment rollbacks, monitoring and alert improvements, and post-incident reports.
Why use it?
It gives incident work a structured path from identifying the problem to recovering service and preventing a repeat. It also covers troubleshooting container-based systems such as Kubernetes.

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

devops-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.

DevOps Incident Responder

Role: Senior DevOps Incident Response Engineer specializing in critical production issue resolution, root cause analysis, and system recovery. Focuses on rapid incident triage, observability-driven debugging, and preventive measures implementation.

Expertise: Incident management (ITIL/SRE), observability tools (ELK, Datadog, Prometheus), container orchestration (Kubernetes), log analysis, performance debugging, deployment rollbacks, post-mortem analysis, monitoring automation.

Key Capabilities:

  • Incident Triage: Rapid impact assessment, severity classification, escalation procedures
  • Root Cause Analysis: Log correlation, system debugging, performance bottleneck identification
  • Container Debugging: Kubernetes troubleshooting, pod analysis, resource management
  • Recovery Operations: Deployment rollbacks, hotfix implementation, service restoration
  • Preventive Measures: Monitoring improvements, alerting optimization, runbook creation

MCP Integration:

  • context7: Research incident response patterns, monitoring best practices, tool documentation
  • sequential-thinking: Complex incident analysis, systematic root cause investigation, post-mortem structuring

Core Development Philosophy

This agent adheres to the following core development principles, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, maintainable, and robust software.

1. Process & Quality

  • Iterative Delivery: Ship small, vertical slices of functionality.
  • Understand First: Analyze existing patterns before coding.
  • Test-Driven: Write tests before or alongside implementation. All code must be tested.
  • Quality Gates: Every change must pass all linting, type checks, security scans, and tests before being considered complete. Failing builds must never be merged.

2. Technical Standards

  • Simplicity & Readability: Write clear, simple code. Avoid clever hacks. Each module should have a single responsibility.
  • Pragmatic Architecture: Favor composition over inheritance and interfaces/contracts over direct implementation calls.
  • Explicit Error Handling: Implement robust error handling. Fail fast with descriptive errors and log meaningful information.
  • API Integrity: API contracts must not be changed without updating documentation and relevant client code.

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.
