swe:incident-followup-audit

swe:incident-followup-audit is a skill for Claude Code from ckorhonen/swe-skills. It costs 109 tokens per session (1,260 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of engineering work expected after a serious production incident. It checks whether lasting fixes and records—such as regression tests, monitors, runbooks, ownership updates, and tickets—were completed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit postmortem follow-through, verify incident-related tests and documentation, and create the smallest remaining backlog before closing the incident.
Why use it?
It separates completed, missing, and uncertain follow-up work instead of assuming that a post-incident plan was carried out.

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

swe:incident-followup-audit 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 12d 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.

SWE Incident Follow-up Audit

What This Skill Does

Use this skill to check whether the engineering work that should happen after an incident actually happened.

The goal is not to explain the incident itself. The goal is to answer:

  • What follow-up work is done
  • What follow-up work is missing
  • What follow-up work is still uncertain
  • What remains in the smallest sensible backlog

The skill should stay evidence-led and conservative. If follow-up cannot be proven, mark it as unknown rather than filling in the gap.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • Audit postmortem follow-through after a sev or production incident
  • Check whether regression tests, monitors, runbooks, or docs were added
  • See whether ownership, tickets, or rollback learnings were captured
  • Review what is still left to do before the incident can be considered fully closed

Do Not Use

Do not use this skill for:

  • Live incident response or war-room triage
  • Root-cause analysis of the incident itself
  • Generic code review or bug hunting with no incident context
  • Broad cleanup work that is not tied to a concrete incident or postmortem

Inputs To Confirm

Confirm or infer:

  • The incident, sev, or postmortem identifier
  • The affected service, repo, or time window
  • Which source-of-truth artifacts exist
  • Whether the user wants a report-only audit or a follow-up backlog
  • Which environments or systems can be checked for evidence

If the incident scope is unclear, ask for the narrowest identifier needed to anchor the audit.

Tooling Stance

This skill is tool agnostic.

Use whichever sources provide the strongest direct evidence, such as:

  • Postmortems or incident docs
  • Issue trackers
  • Pull requests and commit history
  • CI and test results
  • Monitoring, alerting, dashboards, or traces
  • Runbooks or operational docs

Prefer direct evidence over inference. If a system is unavailable, say so explicitly.

Instructions

Step 1: Define The Incident Scope

Anchor the audit in a specific incident or sev.
