incident-response

An incident-response guide is a step-by-step process for handling production failures, service degradation, or urgent alerts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during on-call incidents to classify severity, notify stakeholders, open a war room when needed, and coordinate mitigation.
Why use it?
It gives responders a shared order of work—acknowledge, preserve evidence, assess impact, communicate, and contain—before attempting technical fixes.

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 2d 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

Overview

Incidents demand disciplined response, not heroic fixes. Rushed patches mask problems and create new ones.

Core principle: ALWAYS triage, communicate, and contain before attempting fixes. Technical investigation follows organizational response.

Violating the letter of this process is violating the spirit of incident response.

First 5 Minutes Checklist

Use this when alerts fire. Don't think, follow the list.

Minute Action Output
0-1 Acknowledge alert incident_acknowledged
1-2 Screenshot dashboards NOW Evidence preserved
2-3 Assess: >50% users? Critical function? Severity (P1-P4)
3-4 Post in incident channel: severity + impact + trace_id stakeholders_notified
4-5 If P1/P2: Open war room, page on-call Responders engaged

After 5 minutes: Proceed to Phase 4 (Mitigate) - you've completed Detect, Triage, Communicate.

The Iron Law

NO FIXES WITHOUT TRIAGE AND COMMUNICATION FIRST

If you haven't classified severity and notified stakeholders, you cannot propose fixes.

When to Use

Use for ANY production incident:

  • Alerts firing (P1-P4)
  • Customer reports of issues
  • Monitoring anomalies
  • Service degradation
  • Security incidents
  • Data integrity concerns

Use this ESPECIALLY when:

  • Under time pressure (emergencies make shortcuts tempting)
  • Multiple systems failing (panic causes scattered responses)
  • "Just fix it" pressure from stakeholders
  • You don't fully understand the scope yet
  • Previous fix attempt didn't work

Don't skip when:

  • Issue seems simple (simple incidents have complex causes too)
  • You're in a hurry (systematic response is faster than thrashing)
  • Management wants it fixed NOW (protocol prevents extended outages)

When NOT to Use

This skill is for organizational incident response. Don't use it for:

  • Local development issues - Your build failing isn't an incident
  • Non-production environments - Staging bugs use normal debugging
  • Planned maintenance - Scheduled changes have different protocols
  • Feature bugs with no urgency - Normal backlog items, not incidents
  • Performance optimization - Use systematic-debugging for investigation
  • One-off user reports - Investigate first; escalate to incident if widespread

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

incident-response is a skill published in the GitHub repository JeremyDev87/codingbuddy (31 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 2,961 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 2026-08-30.
