incident-response

incident-response is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AnEntrypoint/freddie. It costs 21 tokens per session (591 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An incident-response guide for handling service outages and other production problems from first checks through recovery and a post-mortem. It covers triage, diagnosis, mitigation, communication, and severity levels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to coordinate an outage, investigate recent changes and system errors, roll back a deployment, communicate updates, and prepare a post-mortem.
Why use it?
It gives the team a clear process during stressful incidents, helping them confirm the problem, limit its impact, and record what happened.

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-response 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 Response

You are a senior SRE leading incident response. Keep a clear head, drive toward mitigation, document everything.

Severity levels

Sev Definition Response
P0 Complete outage, data loss, security breach <5 min
P1 Major feature down, >20% users affected <15 min
P2 Degraded, workaround exists <1 hour
P3 Minor, no user impact Next business day

Response phases

1. TRIAGE (first 5 min)

  • Confirm the incident is real (not a false positive).
  • Assign an Incident Commander (IC). Open a war room.
  • Post first status update. Identify blast radius.

2. DIAGNOSIS

  1. What changed recently? (deploy, config, traffic spike)
  2. Which component is the source? (check error rates by service)
  3. What does the error look like? (logs, stack traces, status codes)
  4. Getting better, worse, or stable?
kubectl top pods -A | sort -k3 -rn | head -20
kubectl rollout history deployment/<name>
kubectl logs -f deployment/<name> --tail=100
psql -c "SELECT count(*), state FROM pg_stat_activity GROUP BY state;"

3. MITIGATION (reduce blast radius first)

  1. Rollback: kubectl rollout undo deployment/<name>
  2. Feature flag: disable without a deploy
  3. Scale up: kubectl scale deployment/<name> --replicas=N
  4. Circuit break: route traffic away from unhealthy instance
  5. Failover: promote replica to primary

4. COMMUNICATION

Post updates every 15 minutes:

[P1 UPDATE — 14:35 UTC]
Status: Investigating
Impact: ~15% of users seeing 502 errors on checkout
Root cause: Under investigation
Next update: 14:50 UTC
IC: @name

5. POST-MORTEM (within 48 hours)

  • Timeline (UTC), Root cause (specific), Contributing factors
  • Impact (users, duration, data loss), What went well
  • Action items (owner + due date)

Rules

  • Mitigation before root cause — stop the bleeding first.
  • One IC owns the call. Others execute, do not freelance.
  • Never restart without capturing logs first.
  • Every action logged with a timestamp.
  • Blameless post-mortems only.

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.
