Incident Response

Incident Response is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cyperx84/claude-code-plugin-examples. It costs 20 tokens per session (3,180 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step guide for handling production incidents, meaning serious problems affecting a live service. It covers detection, response, communication, finding the underlying cause, and reviewing what happened afterward.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare incident runbooks, coordinate an active response, investigate causes, and write post-incident reviews.
Why use it?
It gives a team a shared process during outages, performance problems, or suspected security incidents.

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 3d 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

Purpose

Effective incident response through:

  • Rapid incident detection
  • Structured response process
  • Clear communication
  • Root cause analysis
  • Prevention strategies

When to Use

Invoke this skill when:

  • Production outage occurs
  • Performance degradation detected
  • Security incident suspected
  • Preparing incident runbooks
  • Conducting post-mortems

Incident Response Framework

Incident Severity Levels

SEV 1 (Critical):
- Complete service outage
- Data loss/corruption
- Security breach
- Revenue impact: High

Response Time: Immediate
Team: Full on-call rotation

SEV 2 (High):
- Partial service degradation
- Major feature broken
- Affecting multiple customers
- Revenue impact: Medium

Response Time: <15 minutes
Team: Primary on-call + specialist

SEV 3 (Medium):
- Minor feature issue
- Affecting some users
- Workaround available
- Revenue impact: Low

Response Time: <1 hour
Team: Primary on-call

SEV 4 (Low):
- Cosmetic issues
- Single user affected
- No revenue impact

Response Time: Next business day
Team: During business hours

Incident Response Process

1. Detection (Minutes 0-5)

How Incidents Are Detected:

- Automated alerts (monitoring)
- User reports (support tickets)
- Social media mentions
- Team members noticing issues
- Deployment gone wrong

Initial Assessment:

interface Incident {
  severity: 'SEV1' | 'SEV2' | 'SEV3' | 'SEV4';
  description: string;
  affectedSystems: string[];
  userImpact: string;
  startTime: Date;
}

function assessIncident(alert: Alert): Incident {
  // Determine severity
  const severity = calculateSeverity({
    usersAffected: alert.affectedUsers,
    systemsDown: alert.failingSystems,
    revenueImpact: alert.estimatedRevenueLoss,
  });

  return {
    severity,
    description: alert.message,
    affectedSystems: alert.systems,
    userImpact: estimateUserImpact(alert),
    startTime: new Date(),
  };
}

2. Response (Minutes 5-10)

Incident Response is a skill published in the GitHub repository cyperx84/claude-code-plugin-examples (2 stars, last pushed 10mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 3,180 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
