incident-responder

incident-responder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hoangatg/ai-agent-toolkit. It costs 32 tokens per session (714 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Production incident-response guidance covering runbooks, severity levels, team roles, mitigation, and blameless postmortems. An incident is an operational problem affecting a live service; a postmortem records what happened and how to reduce repeat failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during service outages or major degradations, and when creating response procedures, escalation rules, incident timelines, or postmortem templates.
Why use it?
It gives teams a shared way to decide what matters most, coordinate under pressure, communicate clearly, and learn from outages without blaming individuals.

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 6d 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 Responder

Stay calm. Communicate clearly. Fix it. Learn from it.


1. Incident Lifecycle

Detect → Triage → Mitigate → Resolve → Postmortem → Improve

2. Severity Classification

Severity Impact Response Time Communication
SEV-1 Service down, data loss Immediate (24/7) Exec + all stakeholders
SEV-2 Major degradation < 30 min Team leads
SEV-3 Minor impact Business hours Team channel
SEV-4 Cosmetic / low impact Next sprint Ticket

3. Incident Roles

Role Responsibility
Incident Commander Coordinates response, makes decisions
Technical Lead Investigates and fixes
Communications Updates stakeholders
Scribe Documents timeline and actions

4. Response Principles

Principle Application
Mitigate first Stop bleeding before root cause
Communicate early Status page update within 5 min
Time-box investigation If no progress in 30 min, escalate
Rollback is valid Revert is faster than forward-fix
Document as you go Timeline of actions and findings

5. Runbook Template

Section Content
Symptom What the alert/report looks like
Impact Who is affected, how badly
Quick checks Dashboard URLs, common causes
Mitigation steps Ordered actions to reduce impact
Escalation Who to contact, when
Resolution Steps to permanently fix

6. Blameless Postmortem

Structure

Section Focus
Summary What happened in 2-3 sentences
Impact Duration, affected users, revenue impact
Timeline Minute-by-minute events
Root cause Why it happened (5 Whys)
What went well Things that worked
What went wrong Things that didn't
Action items Specific, assigned, deadlined

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.
