Write clear customer-facing outage and service-disruption notifications.

  • Asked to write an outage notice

What it does

Customer Outage Notice is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write clear customer-facing outage and service-disruption notifications. Use when asked to write an outage notice, a status-page update, a service-disruption email, a maintenance notice, or an incident update sequence. Produces status-page updates for each phase (investigating → identified → monitoring → resolved), a customer email, and a resolved/post-incident summary, in plain, reassuring language.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Incident response. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to write an outage notice
  • A status-page update
  • A service-disruption email
  • A maintenance notice

Example prompts

  • “/customer-outage-notice”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Customer Outage Notice loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 538 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~107
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

description
Write clear customer-facing outage and service-disruption notifications. Use when asked to write an outage notice, a status-page update, a service-disruption email, a maintenance notice, or an incident update sequence. Produces status-page updates for each phase (investigating → identified → monitoring → resolved), a customer email, and a resolved/post-incident summary, in plain, reassuring language.

Customer Outage Notice Skill

During an outage, customers don't need engineering detail — they need to know you're aware, that you're on it, and when you'll update them next. This skill writes the notifications across the whole incident lifecycle, in calm, plain language that reduces support tickets instead of generating them. (For a security/data incident or a PR crisis, use incident-public-statement or pr-crisis-response.)

Working from a brief

Given "checkout is down for some users", produce the full set of phased notices anyway — infer the affected scope and a plausible update cadence, label assumptions, and bracket the specific facts (start time, services, ETA) to fill in. Never wait for full detail; teams paste these live and edit the brackets.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided (else infer and label):

  • What's affected — which service/feature, and for whom (all users, a region, a plan).
  • Severity — full outage, partial/degraded, or intermittent.
  • Status — investigating, root cause known, fix deploying, or resolved.
  • Timing — when it started and the next-update cadence (or ETA, if known).
  • Channel — status page, email, in-app banner; and your voice.

Output Format

Outage Communications: [service]

1. Status-page updates — a short post for each phase, each timestamped and committing to a next-update time:

PhaseMessage (template)
Investigating"We're investigating reports of [issue] affecting [scope]. Next update by [time]."
Identified"We've identified the cause of [issue] and are working on a fix. [Scope] remains affected. Next update by [time]."
Monitoring"A fix has been deployed and we're monitoring recovery. You may see [residual effect]. Next update by [time]."
Resolved"This incident is resolved as of [time]. [Service] is operating normally. Thank you for your patience."

2. Customer email — a slightly fuller version for direct notification: what's affected, what they can/can't do right now, any workaround, and where to follow live status.

3. In-app / banner line — one sentence for a status banner.

4. Resolved summary — a short post-incident note: what happened (plain language), the impact window, what you've done to prevent recurrence, and how to reach support if they're still affected. Keep it blameless and non-technical; link a full post-mortem if one exists.

Quality Checks

  • Every active-incident update commits to a specific next-update time
  • Scope is stated honestly (who is and isn't affected) — no vague "some users" when you know more
  • Language is plain and calm — no internal jargon, no over-technical root-cause mid-incident
  • A workaround or "what you can do now" is included when one exists
  • The resolved summary states the impact window and a prevention step
  • Updates are written so a non-engineer on the team can post them as-is

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not go quiet between updates — a "still working on it, next update by X" beats silence
  • Do not minimise ("minor issue") when customers are clearly blocked — it erodes trust
  • Do not dump engineering detail or assign blame in a live customer notice
  • Do not promise an ETA you're not confident in — commit to an update time instead
  • Do not forget the resolved message — leaving an incident "open" worries customers

Based On

Incident-communication practice — phased status updates (investigating/identified/monitoring/resolved), committed update cadence, and blameless plain-language summaries.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write an outage notice."
  • "Write a status-page update for this incident."
  • "Email customers about the service disruption."
  • "Write a maintenance notice."
