Frequently Asked Questions about headless-investigate-incident

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate incident investigation planning for alerts?

Automate incident investigation planning by generating ranked hypotheses and parallel investigation tracks from organizational context like affected services and recent changes. It outputs structured data for AI review without gathering evidence or implementing fixes.

What is a parallel investigation track for incident response?

A parallel investigation track accelerates root cause analysis during incident response by structuring multiple independent investigative paths. The Skill generates these tracks alongside ranked hypotheses to guide autonomous testing and resolution efforts.

How do I generate ranked hypotheses from system architecture context?

Generate ranked hypotheses by feeding system architecture, recent changes, and historical incident data into the planning process. The Skill produces three or more hypotheses complete with supporting evidence and testing steps.

Can I use this incident planning skill to automatically fix production issues?

No, you cannot use this skill to fix production issues. It strictly plans autonomous incident investigations by producing structured hypotheses and parallel tracks, and does not gather evidence or implement fixes.

Does the incident investigation output a structured format for AI agents?

Yes, the incident investigation outputs structured data specifically formatted for AI agent review. It uses the INCIDENT format containing distinct sections for HYPOTHESES and PARALLEL_TRACKS to facilitate automated downstream processing.

What context do I need to provide for autonomous incident planning?

Provide context such as affected services, system architecture, recent changes, and historical incidents. The Skill applies this organizational context to alerts or symptom descriptions to generate the investigation plan.
