Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00020 | $0.00889 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00445 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00178 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00089 |
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 12d 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
Handle production incidents systematically.
Severity Levels
| Level | Definition | Response Time | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEV1 | Service down, all users affected | Immediate | Database crash, DNS failure, auth broken |
| SEV2 | Major feature broken, many users affected | < 30 min | Payments failing, search not working |
| SEV3 | Minor feature broken, workaround exists | < 4 hours | Export button broken, slow dashboard |
| SEV4 | Cosmetic or low-impact issue | Next business day | Typo in UI, minor styling bug |
Incident Workflow
1. Detect & Triage (first 5 minutes)
- Acknowledge the incident — "I'm looking into this"
- Determine severity level
- Check monitoring dashboards (error rates, latency, status page)
- Check recent deployments:
git log --oneline -10— was anything deployed recently?
2. Mitigate (next 15-30 minutes)
The goal is to stop the bleeding, not find the root cause.
Quick mitigations:
- Rollback:
git revert <commit> && deploy— fastest option if a deploy caused it - Feature flag: Disable the broken feature
- Scale up: Add more instances if it's a capacity issue
- Failover: Switch to backup/secondary if primary is down
- Block traffic: Rate-limit or block specific abusive traffic
3. Communicate
Internal:
- Open an incident channel (
#incident-2026-04-10) - Post status updates every 15-30 minutes
- Assign roles: Incident Commander, Communicator, Engineers
External:
- Update status page
- Send email/notification to affected users if the outage is extended
- Be honest: "We're experiencing issues with X. We've identified the cause and are working on a fix."
4. Resolve
- Deploy the fix
- Verify the fix works in production (check metrics, not just absence of errors)
- Close the incident channel with a summary
5. Postmortem (within 48 hours)
Write a blameless postmortem:
# Incident: Payments failing for Stripe webhook
**Date:** 2026-04-10
**Duration:** 45 minutes (14:30 — 15:15 UTC)
**Severity:** SEV2
**Impact:** ~200 users unable to complete purchases
## Timeline
- 14:30 — Alert fires: payment success rate drops to 20%
- 14:35 — On-call engineer acknowledges, begins investigation
- 14:40 — Identified: Stripe webhook endpoint returning 500
- 14:45 — Root cause: migration added NOT NULL column without default
- 14:50 — Fix deployed: added default value to migration
- 15:00 — Payment success rate recovering
- 15:15 — Metrics back to normal, incident closed
## Root Cause
Database migration #47 added a `currency` column with NOT NULL
but no DEFAULT value. Existing rows were fine (backfilled), but
new webhook events failed because the insert didn't include `currency`.
## What Went Well
- Alert fired within 5 minutes of the issue starting
- Rollback was considered but the fix was faster
## What Went Wrong
- Migration wasn't tested with live webhook payloads
- No staging test for the webhook flow
## Action Items
- [ ] Add webhook integration test to CI (@alice, due 2026-04-17)
- [ ] Require DEFAULT for all new NOT NULL columns in migration review (@bob)
- [ ] Add runbook for payment failures (@charlie, due 2026-04-14)
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 spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills (772 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 889 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.
