What it does

Postmortem is an agent skill from Dimon94/skills. Recall or record confirmed reusable failure lessons. Use after a verified recurrence, review escape, failed gate, or explicit user request.

Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/postmortem-contract.js`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Runbooks and postmortems. The repository describes itself as: 个人 agent skill 库 — skills/ 为唯一真相源,agent 目录经 symlink 消费.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Runbooks and postmortems

Example prompts

  • “/postmortem”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e8d3b3. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    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

Postmortem loads about 434 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 193 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~434

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 193 words (~434 tokens).

“postmortem owns reusable failure memory. It does not own workflow state, review findings, remote delivery, or ordinary failure logs.”
