incident-runbook-templates

incident-runbook-templates is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from RudyCity/superagent. It costs 88 tokens per session (1,196 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A collection of step-by-step templates for responding to service incidents, such as outages, severe slowdowns, data loss, or database problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for writing service outage procedures, escalation paths, recovery steps, rollback checks, and communication plans.
Why use it?
It gives on-call engineers a shared process for detecting, investigating, containing, fixing, checking, and communicating about incidents.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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-runbook-templates scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Runbooks rot because they're updated manually. Include a "Last Verified" date and owner at the top, and add a CI check that validates all `curl` endpoints and `kubectl` context names are still valid:

Incident Runbook Templates

Production-ready templates for incident response runbooks covering detection, triage, mitigation, resolution, and communication.

When to Use This Skill

  • Creating incident response procedures
  • Building service-specific runbooks
  • Establishing escalation paths
  • Documenting recovery procedures
  • Responding to active incidents
  • Onboarding on-call engineers

Core Concepts

1. Incident Severity Levels

Severity Impact Response Time Example
SEV1 Complete outage, data loss 15 min Production down
SEV2 Major degradation 30 min Critical feature broken
SEV3 Minor impact 2 hours Non-critical bug
SEV4 Minimal impact Next business day Cosmetic issue

2. Runbook Structure

1. Overview & Impact
2. Detection & Alerts
3. Initial Triage
4. Mitigation Steps
5. Root Cause Investigation
6. Resolution Procedures
7. Verification & Rollback
8. Communication Templates
9. Escalation Matrix

Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

Best Practices

Do's

  • Keep runbooks updated - Review after every incident
  • Test runbooks regularly - Game days, chaos engineering
  • Include rollback steps - Always have an escape hatch
  • Document assumptions - What must be true for steps to work
  • Link to dashboards - Quick access during stress

Don'ts

  • Don't assume knowledge - Write for 3 AM brain
  • Don't skip verification - Confirm each step worked
  • Don't forget communication - Keep stakeholders informed
  • Don't work alone - Escalate early
  • Don't skip postmortems - Learn from every incident

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-runbook-templates is a skill published in the GitHub repository RudyCity/superagent (21 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 1,196 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
