What it does

Algolia Incident Runbook is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Diagnose and manage an Algolia-backed search incident with evidence, containment, and reversible recovery. Use when users see failed, stale, slow, or irrelevant search results. Trigger with "Algolia incident", "search outage", or "Algolia degraded".

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/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Search implementation and Runbooks and postmortems. It works with Algolia. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Users see failed
  • Irrelevant search results
  • With Algolia incident
  • Algolia degraded

Example prompts

  • “Algolia incident”
  • “search outage”
  • “Algolia degraded”
  • “/algolia-incident-runbook”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

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

  1. Declare incident owner, affected journey, start time, severity source, and current user impact.
  2. Freeze unrelated changes and capture recent releases, indexing runs, key changes, and provider status.
  3. Run a known read-only query and compare application, direct client, and source-of-truth results.
  4. Classify the failure surface and choose the smallest reversible containment.
  5. Verify recovery with synthetic and representative user queries, not only HTTP success.
  6. Record timeline, evidence, decisions, cleanup, follow-up owners, and rollback readiness.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • Write
    • Edit

    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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • algolia.com
    • status.algolia.com

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Algolia Incident Runbook loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 379 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
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
~1.3k

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.

Algolia Search Incident Runbook

Overview

This skill runs a product-owned incident process without assuming the provider is or is not at fault. Severity and response targets come from the organization's runbook, while diagnosis uses application, provider, and data-pipeline evidence.

Prerequisites

  • A named repository, environment, and Algolia application or index in scope
  • The local lockfile and installed client types as implementation authority
  • A safe read-only query or explicitly disposable test target
  • Current first-party documentation for any provider behavior that affects the change

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect local code, configuration names, tests, and dependency versions. Use WebFetch only for current official Algolia documentation. Use Write or Edit only after identifying the target files, constraints, and verification plan.

Current Contract

  • Separate availability, authorization, freshness, latency, relevance, and event-collection symptoms.
  • Check provider status as one signal, not as the root-cause conclusion.
  • Preserve request IDs, task IDs, deployment SHAs, settings changes, and source snapshots.
  • Prefer traffic rollback, prior index targets, or feature degradation paths that are already tested.

Authentication

Use read-only or narrowly scoped incident credentials. Never paste keys into tickets, chat, commands, screenshots, or diagnostic bundles.

Instructions

  1. Declare incident owner, affected journey, start time, severity source, and current user impact.
  2. Freeze unrelated changes and capture recent releases, indexing runs, key changes, and provider status.
  3. Run a known read-only query and compare application, direct client, and source-of-truth results.
  4. Classify the failure surface and choose the smallest reversible containment.
  5. Verify recovery with synthetic and representative user queries, not only HTTP success.
  6. Record timeline, evidence, decisions, cleanup, follow-up owners, and rollback readiness.

Approval Boundaries

Do not invent severity targets, rotate credentials, rebuild production, change relevance settings, or delete an index without the incident commander's approval.

Output

Return the incident classification, timeline, evidence links, containment action, recovery checks, customer impact, unresolved risks, and follow-up tasks.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Provider status unclearContinue application and data-path diagnosis while monitoring official status.
Credential suspected exposedEscalate rotation through the approved secret process.
Freshness mismatchTrace source snapshot and task completion before reindexing.
Recovery changes relevanceRollback or obtain product-owner acceptance.

Examples

Use this compact input and expected handoff to calibrate scope and evidence quality.

Input:

text
incident=SEV-from-company-runbook; symptom=stale-products; provider-status=operational

Expected handoff:

text
cause=indexing-task-failed; containment=previous-index; verification=12/12-queries-pass
