incident-response

incident-response is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thiientv/godmode. It costs 82 tokens per session (489 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for coordinating an active production incident, meaning a live outage, severe slowdown, security event, data-integrity problem, or failed release. It covers control, containment, evidence preservation, recovery, and follow-up work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize responders, record confirmed facts and hypotheses, roll back or limit harmful changes when authorized, preserve logs and metrics, verify recovery, and assign follow-up actions.
Why use it?
It helps restore service safely while limiting the number of affected users and keeping useful evidence for later diagnosis. Recovery is checked through user-facing behavior and service signals, not just one successful dashboard indicator.

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 6d 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

Incident Response

Stabilize first, learn second. Do not let diagnosis delay a safe reversible mitigation.

Establish control

Record start time, incident commander, responders, severity, affected users and regions, known symptoms, recent changes, communication channel, and next update time. Use incident-record.md as the live log. Separate confirmed facts from hypotheses.

Contain and recover

  1. Protect people, data integrity, credentials, and irreversible state.
  2. Reduce blast radius with a kill switch, traffic shift, dependency isolation, rollback, rate limit, or safe degradation when authorized.
  3. Preserve timestamps, deploy identifiers, logs, metrics, traces, and commands before ephemeral evidence disappears.
  4. Test ranked hypotheses without making several uncontrolled production changes at once.
  5. Verify recovery from user-facing behavior and service-level signals, not one green dashboard.

Use release-engineering for a failed rollout, security-and-hardening for an active security boundary, and root-cause-debugging for deeper diagnosis after the service is stable. Production mutations require the repository's normal authority and approval; this skill does not grant it.

Communicate and close

Publish concise updates with verified impact, current mitigation, user action if any, and next update time. Avoid speculative root causes. Close the incident only after critical paths, backlog recovery, data reconciliation, and alert state are checked.

Create a blameless timeline and a small set of owned, dated actions: regression proof, detection gap, recovery improvement, and prevention at the correct owner boundary. Track them outside the incident document.

Completion condition

Impact has ended, recovery is independently verified, data and queued work are reconciled or explicitly owned, communications are complete, and follow-up actions have owners and due dates.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

incident-response is a skill published in the GitHub repository thiientv/godmode (93 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 489 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
