Incident severity classification, runbook templates, root cause analysis, and post-incident review

  • Tasks that involve Incident response
  • SKILL.md covers Severity Classification, Incident Response Protocol, Runbook Template and Root Cause Analysis, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Runbooks and postmortems

What it does

Incident Response Patterns is an agent skill from vibeeval/vibecosystem. Incident severity classification, runbook templates, root cause analysis, and post-incident review

Its SKILL.md is about 710 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, Runbooks and postmortems and Root cause analysis. The repository describes itself as: AI software team for Claude Code - 138 agents, 295 skills, 73 hooks. Self-learning, multi-agent swarm, autonomous skill evolution. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Incident response
  • Tasks that involve Runbooks and postmortems
  • Tasks that involve Root cause analysis

Example prompts

  • “/incident-response-patterns”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3b763b1. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Incident Response Patterns loads about 709 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 105 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~709

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.

Incident Response Protocol

1. DETECT  → Alert tetiklendi / kullanıcı bildirdi
2. TRIAGE  → Severity belirle, incident channel aç
3. ASSIGN  → Incident Commander + Responder ata
4. CONTAIN → Bleeding'i durdur (rollback, feature flag off)
5. FIX     → Root cause'u düzelt
6. VERIFY  → Fix'i doğrula (monitoring, smoke test)
7. RESOLVE → Incident kapat, stakeholder bilgilendir
8. REVIEW  → Post-incident review (48 saat içinde)

Runbook Template

markdown
# Runbook: [Service Name] - [Issue Type]

## Symptoms
- Alert: [alert name]
- Dashboard: [link]
- Expected: [normal behavior]
- Actual: [observed behavior]

## Diagnosis Steps
1. Check [metric/log/dashboard]
2. Run: `kubectl get pods -n production`
3. Check: `SELECT count(*) FROM errors WHERE ...`

## Mitigation
1. Quick fix: [rollback/restart/scale]
2. Feature flag: [disable feature X]
3. Redirect: [failover to backup]

## Escalation
- L1: [on-call engineer]
- L2: [team lead]
- L3: [CTO/VP Eng]

Root Cause Analysis

5 Whys
Problem: API 500 hatası
Why 1: Database connection timeout
Why 2: Connection pool tükendi
Why 3: Slow query connection'ları tutuyor
Why 4: Missing index on frequently queried column
Why 5: Schema change review process eksik
→ Action: Schema change PR'da EXPLAIN ANALYZE zorunlu

Post-Incident Review Template

markdown
## Incident Summary
- Duration: [start - end]
- Impact: [affected users/revenue]
- Severity: SEV-[X]

## Timeline
- HH:MM - Alert triggered
- HH:MM - Incident declared
- HH:MM - Root cause identified
- HH:MM - Fix deployed
- HH:MM - Incident resolved

## Root Cause
[Detailed technical explanation]

## Action Items
- [ ] [Fix] Add missing index (owner: @dev, due: date)
- [ ] [Prevent] Add schema review step (owner: @lead)
- [ ] [Detect] Add connection pool alert (owner: @sre)
