SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When a brand faces a viral complaint, backlash campaign, or organized attack, teams often react too slowly, respond emotionally, or stay silent too long. This Skill provides a ready-made crisis playbook that classifies the incident, assigns owners, and produces a structured response plan before damage spreads.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Five-Level Crisis Classification: Categorizes incidents from L1 (operational failures) to L5 (legal/compliance violations), each with defined response times and escalation paths.
  • Hour-by-Hour Response Plan: Generates a timeline covering the first 4 hours, first 24 hours, and following week, including approved messaging, spokesperson assignment, and a list of prohibited actions.
  • Escalation Matrix & Post-Mortem: Maps who handles and who must be informed at each level, then schedules a post-mortem within one week to capture lessons learned.
  • Use Case: A customer's one-star review goes viral on social media. The Skill classifies it as L3 (reputation), drafts a verified acknowledgment message within 1-2 hours, routes the complainant to a private channel, and sets sentiment monitoring checkpoints at 24 hours and 7 days.

Quick Start

Use the crisis playbook skill to assess this viral customer complaint and produce a response plan with severity classification, hourly actions, and approved messaging.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I respond to a viral negative review or brand crisis?

First classify the incident by severity level, then verify facts before responding. For legitimate complaints, acknowledge, apologize, and move the conversation to a private channel within 1-2 hours. Never delete genuine negative comments or argue publicly.

What are the severity levels in a crisis management playbook?

The playbook defines five levels: L1 operational failures, L2 content errors, L3 spreading customer complaints, L4 organized brand attacks, and L5 legal or compliance violations. Each level has defined response times from immediate action to 2-4 hours.

When should a company stay silent during a social media crisis?

Silence is only appropriate for small-scale organized attacks where responding would amplify reach. For any spreading crisis, never stay silent beyond 4 hours, as silence is interpreted as admission of guilt.

What should you never do during a PR crisis?

Never delete legitimate negative comments, argue emotionally with angry users, respond with unverified facts, promise compensation you cannot deliver, downplay severity, or let junior staff handle L2+ incidents without leader approval.

How do I write a post-mortem after a brand crisis?

Within one week, document what happened, how it was handled, and the results. Update the playbook with new lessons and hold a team meeting to prevent recurrence. Track sentiment metrics at 24 hours and 7 days after the incident.
