postmortem-maker

postmortem-maker is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from runxhq/runx. It costs 44 tokens per session (597 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A post-incident drafting workflow that builds a traceable report from supplied incident fragments and clearly separates facts from hypotheses.

In plain words
What is it for?
It creates an evidence-cited timeline, labels root causes as known, suspected, or unknown, lists open questions and owners, and prepares a gated publication proposal when complete.
Why use it?
It prevents unknown causes from being presented as facts and keeps publication behind human approval. Unsupported citations cause the report to be rejected.

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

postmortem-maker 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (postmortem-maker.mjs), 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.

Postmortem Maker

Produce a postmortem that never pretends unknowns are facts. The supplied incident fragments are the only evidence; the drafting agent separates what happened from what is suspected, and deterministic code verifies every claimed fact against the fragments. Publication is a gated proposal, never an effect of this skill.

Procedure

  1. Native data.digest binds the exact fragment set.
  2. The drafting agent assembles a summary, an evidence-cited timeline, a root cause with a status of known, suspected, or unknown, open unknowns, and owned action items.
  3. Deterministic enforcement checks every timeline entry and any non-unknown root cause: the cited fragment must exist and the quote must appear verbatim in that fragment's text. An invented citation refuses the whole run. Action items must carry an action and an owner.
  4. The verdict separates completeness from honesty: a fully cited postmortem with a supported root cause and no open unknowns is publishable and carries a publish proposal gated on a human approver through send-as; a grounded but incomplete one seals needs_more_evidence and publishes nothing.

To build the fragment set from live systems, compose web-fetch or data-store reads upstream; the digest binds whatever evidence was supplied. incident-commander owns running the incident; this skill owns explaining it afterward.

Output

postmortem (runx.postmortem.v1) carries decision (publishable, needs_more_evidence, refused), summary, the cited timeline, root_cause, unknowns, action_items, the gated publish_proposal or null, validation, and the fragments digest. publish_performed is always false.

Inputs are incident_ref and incident_fragments.

Agent task contracts

postmortem-maker-draft

Read incident_ref and incident_fragments from step inputs. Return postmortem_draft with summary, timeline entries (each entry, fragment_id, quote), root_cause (status, and for known or suspected a statement, fragment_id, and quote), unknowns, and action_items (each action, owner). Quote fragments verbatim, mark anything the fragments do not support as unknown rather than asserting it, and never invent fragments, quotes, owners, or deadlines.

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.
