What it does

Business Continuity And Resilience is an agent skill from cbrock84/headcount. Plans for operating through disruption — impact analysis, recovery objectives, continuity plans, and the exercises that prove they work. Use this to run a business impact analysis, set RTO and RPO, write or test a continuity plan, prepare for a supplier or site failure, or answer a customer's resilience questionnaire.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sources.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Backup and disaster recovery. The repository describes itself as: An agent organization structured as a company — 15+ departments, 125+ skills, each independently installable, citing the standards and regulators that settle the question. Runs… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Backup and disaster recovery

Example prompts

  • “Use the business-continuity-and-resilience skill to plan for operating through disruption — impact analysis, recovery objectives, continuity plans…”
  • “/business-continuity-and-resilience”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Walkthrough — read it aloud together and find the steps nobody can actually perform.
  2. Tabletop — inject a scenario and make the decisions under time pressure.
  3. Live failover — actually run on the alternate path, in production, with the real people.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98d1c17. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Business Continuity And Resilience loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 605 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Plans for operating through disruption — impact analysis, recovery objectives, continuity plans, and the exercises that prove they work. Use this to run a business impact analysis, set RTO and RPO, write or test a continuity plan, prepare for a supplier or site failure, or answer a customer's resilience questionnaire.

Business continuity and resilience

Continuity is a business question wearing technical clothing. The technical restore is covered by it-operations:backup-and-recovery; this is about which processes must keep running, for whom, and how long you can survive without them.

Start with impact, not systems

A business impact analysis asks, per process: what breaks downstream, how fast, and who notices. Work outward from the customer-visible failure, not inward from the asset register — an inventory of systems tells you what you own, never what matters.

For each critical process establish:

  • Maximum tolerable outage — the point past which the damage is not recoverable by working harder afterwards. This is a business judgment, made by the process owner, not by IT.
  • RTO — how quickly it must be back. Always shorter than someone wants to pay for.
  • RPO — how much data you can afford to lose, measured in time. An RPO of zero is a claim about spending, not about intent.

RTO and RPO that were not signed by the person accountable for the process are aspirations.

Plans people can follow badly

A continuity plan is read by a stressed person at 03:00 who did not write it. Optimize for that reader: named roles rather than names, decision authority stated explicitly, and the first three actions on the first page.

Include what to do when the plan's assumptions fail — the alternate site is also affected, the key person is unreachable, the supplier is not answering. Plans that only handle the anticipated failure handle almost nothing.

Exercises

Untested plans are documents, not capabilities. Escalate the rigour:

  1. Walkthrough — read it aloud together and find the steps nobody can actually perform.
  2. Tabletop — inject a scenario and make the decisions under time pressure.
  3. Live failover — actually run on the alternate path, in production, with the real people.

The exercise produces findings or it was theater. Track them as work with owners and dates, and re-run the scenario that failed rather than a fresh one, so improvement is demonstrable.

Concentration risk

Resilience fails where dependencies converge invisibly: three suppliers who all sit on one cloud region, redundant network paths in the same physical duct, a manual workaround that requires a system you have just lost. Map dependencies to the point where they stop being yours, and check whether the redundancy is real or just contractual.

Sources

references/sources.md in this skill lists the outside authorities that settle the questions here — what each one is authoritative for, and what you may do with it. Check them before answering on anything they cover, and cite what you used. Most are free to read and not free to reproduce; the use note on each is binding.

Tooling

Continuity and crisis management platforms: Fusion Framework, Castellan, Riskonnect, and similar. They hold the impact analysis, the plans, and the exercise record in one place, and they are worth buying at the point where the plans are too many for one person to keep current.

Mass notification: Everbridge, AlertMedia, and similar — the capability being bought is reaching people when your own email and chat are the thing that is down, which is the scenario a plan stored only in those systems fails.

Keep an offline copy of the plan and the contact list. Every organization that has run a real incident has a story about the plan being inside the system that was unavailable.

Never

  • Set an RTO without the process owner agreeing to what it costs.
  • Count a plan as tested because it was reviewed.
  • Treat a backup as continuity — an unrestored backup is an untested assumption.
  • Write a plan whose first step requires the system that has just failed.
