incident-response

incident-response is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from joao-aires/agent-skills-public. It costs 33 tokens per session (776 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An incident-response skill for handling active service problems across application stacks. It combines impact assessment, evidence gathering, reversible stabilization, communication, escalation, and recovery checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage outages, determine affected users and systems, coordinate responders, apply approved mitigations, communicate updates, and verify recovery.
Why use it?
It helps reduce harm quickly without waiting for a complete diagnosis, while keeping decisions, authority, and recovery evidence clear.

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 yesterday.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Incident response

Read composition guidance for optional expertise, fallback and scope.

Reduce current user harm and preserve enough evidence to make the next decision. Establish what is failing now, who is affected, and which parts still work. Compare that impact with available signals so an old alert or a broken telemetry path does not define the incident by itself.

Run stabilization and investigation together. Choose a mitigation for the effect it is expected to have, observe whether that effect occurred, and revise the hypothesis when it did not. Record the target, time and result so another responder can understand what changed. Do not delay a supported mitigation to finish a perfect diagnosis.

Modes

  • Live interactive response: establish impact, current state and response ownership promptly. Ask only questions needed for the next decision; investigate available sources meanwhile.
  • Setup/exercise: implement local role/escalation/communication contracts, verification checks and rehearsals without presenting simulated actions as live operations.
  • Recurring review: collect/scoped-correlate signals, draft incident updates and recommended actions. Execute only mitigations explicitly allowed by the incident/job policy; missing authority becomes a concrete handoff. Never reopen an old outage merely because an old alert link exists.

Consult references/response-guide.md for deeper implementation details when needed.

Response loop

  1. Read the exact alert/ticket/context and its UTC window; also recheck a window ending now. Corroborate customer/business outcomes and telemetry health. Identify scope, trend and evidence of unaffected segments.
  2. Apply local severity/major-incident criteria and name an incident lead. Separate operations, investigation, communication and timeline roles as staffing permits; explicit role ownership matters more than titles.
  3. Select the quickest defensible reversible mitigation: rollback/config revert, flag, load control, failover, compatible scale change or scoped maintenance. Preserve volatile evidence first when practical without materially delaying restoration.
  4. Record hypothesis, expected effect, actual target, action authority, stop/rollback condition and UTC execution/result. Avoid conflicting simultaneous changes; re-evaluate when impact grows or actions fail.
  5. Investigate: align changes in code/config/platform/credentials/data/load with onset; inspect diffs and scope; compare working/failing variants. Test the strongest hypotheses with discriminating evidence. A recent change is not causal proof.
  6. Escalate ownership/access/provider boundaries with facts, scope, window, actions/results and specific assistance needed. Keep impact updates on the local cadence and immediately on material changes; use absolute next-update time rather than unsupported fix ETA.
  7. Verify recovery through the original user/business path and independent signals, including served version/cache/async completion. Observe stability and track temporary controls.
  8. Handover or close: current impact, timeline, proven/unknown cause, rejected hypotheses, pending jobs/controls, next action and owner. Feed evidence to postmortem facilitation after stabilization.

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 joao-aires/agent-skills-public (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 776 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-15.
