postmortem-report

postmortem-report is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thevibeworks/claude-code-docs. It costs 44 tokens per session (427 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of postmortem-report, MIT.

A workflow for creating a postmortem, a written account of an incident and its causes, as a PDF. It uses investigation findings and real application-log data to document timelines, evidence, charts, fixes, and follow-up actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a service incident to produce a shareable report with a summary, affected services, root causes, a UTC timeline, a data-based chart, and owned action items.
Why use it?
It gives technical and non-technical readers one record of what happened, what was ruled out, and how the team will prevent or address recurrence. It also ties claims to evidence from logs and findings.

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-report 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.

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.

What it actually says

Postmortem report

You build the PDF yourself, in your sandbox. There is no template. Design it so a director understands the event in one minute and an engineer can check every claim.

What it must contain

  1. A headline and a summary of three or four sentences.
  2. A table of pages: page id, service, root cause. Pages that share a root cause are one incident; mark the others as symptoms.
  3. At least one chart drawn from real data. Compute it in your script from /mnt/session/uploads/app.log (for example p99 latency or error rate per minute for each paged service) and mark the deploys on it.
  4. For each root cause: a timeline in UTC, the evidence that proves it, what was ruled out, and the fix.
  5. Action items, each with an owner team and a priority.

How to build it

  • Python with matplotlib and pandas is installed. matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf.PdfPages writes multi-page PDFs. pandoc and LaTeX are there too. Use whichever you can do fastest.
  • The investigators' findings are in /workspace/findings/*.json. Start from those instead of investigating again.
  • Save the result to /mnt/session/outputs/postmortem.pdf. Only files under /mnt/session/outputs/ reach the user.
  • Be quick: write one script, run it, and fix it only if it errors. Two to four pages. Do not render the PDF to images to inspect it.
  • Keep everything inside the page margins: wrap the title and any long table cell instead of letting it run off the edge.
  • Follow any postmortem conventions you find in team memory.

When it is built, tell the user the file name in one or two sentences. Do not paste the report into the chat.

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.
