incident-response

incident-response is a skill for Claude Code from pratikxpanda/agentskills-sdk. It costs 26 tokens per session (606 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of procedures for handling production incidents, such as service outages, suspected data problems, or security breaches. It covers severity levels, team roles, escalation, communication, fixes, and post-incident reviews.

In plain words
What is it for?
Classifying incidents, assigning roles, escalating issues, restoring service, communicating updates, and running blameless postmortems—a review of what happened and how to prevent a repeat.
Why use it?
It gives the team a shared response when a live service is failing, reducing confusion about who decides, who investigates, and who keeps people informed.

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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/create-incident-channel.sh, scripts/page-oncall.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

This skill provides structured guidance for handling production incidents.

When to Declare an Incident

An incident should be declared when:

  • A production service is degraded or unavailable for users
  • Data integrity may be compromised
  • A security breach is suspected
  • SLA thresholds are at risk of being violated

Roles

Role Responsibility
Incident Commander (IC) Owns the incident lifecycle, coordinates response, makes decisions
Communications Lead Keeps stakeholders informed, posts status updates, manages the incident channel
Technical Lead Drives root cause investigation, coordinates engineering fixes

General Triage Steps

  1. Acknowledge - Confirm you are responding to the alert
  2. Assess - Determine severity using the severity-levels reference
  3. Communicate - Open an incident channel and notify stakeholders
  4. Escalate - Follow the escalation policy based on severity
  5. Mitigate - Apply immediate fixes to restore service
  6. Resolve - Confirm the issue is fully resolved and monitoring is clean
  7. Postmortem - Schedule and complete a blameless postmortem within 48 hours

Communication Expectations

  • Status updates every 15 minutes for SEV1, 30 minutes for SEV2
  • All communication happens in the incident Slack channel
  • External customer communication is handled by the Communications Lead
  • Management is notified per the escalation policy

Available References

  • severity-levels.md - Severity definitions (SEV1-SEV4) with impact and response times
  • escalation-policy.md - Who to page per severity level and escalation timelines
  • postmortem-template.md - Structured template for blameless postmortems

Available Scripts

  • page-oncall.sh - Page the on-call engineer via PagerDuty API
  • create-incident-channel.sh - Create a dedicated Slack incident channel

Available Assets

  • escalation-flowchart.mermaid - Visual flowchart of the escalation process
  • severity-ladder.png - The four severity bands, most severe at the top. Fetch this with get_skill_asset when you need to see the ladder rather than read it; on a vision-capable setup it arrives as an image.

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.
