What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides a controlled emergency hotfix workflow so critical production bugs can be fixed quickly without losing accountability, approval history, or correct backporting.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Severity-gated triage: Classifies issues into S1/S2/S3 and redirects S3-and-below into the normal bug-fix process to prevent unnecessary process overhead.
- Hotfix record with audit trail: Creates a standardized hotfix record capturing problem, root cause, fix, testing, rollback plan, and required approvals.
- Branch + deploy discipline: Creates a hotfix branch when in a git repo, gathers parallel sign-offs, runs an explicit QA re-entry gate, and then merges to both release and development branches.
- Post-deploy verification + closure: Verifies the bug resolution in the deployed build and schedules a post-incident retrospective within 48 hours.
Quick Start
Run the hotfix workflow for your issue by issuing the command: /hotfix [bug-id or description].
