incident-postmortem

To conduct a blameless postmortem, you input resolved incident details to automatically generate a structured Markdown document containing the timeline, 5-whys root cause analysis, and action items.

The 5-whys root cause analysis method iteratively asks why an incident occurred to identify fundamental systemic issues. This Skill automates that process to find root causes without assigning individual blame.

You generate an incident postmortem document automatically by running the command with your incident description. The Skill processes the details and outputs a structured Markdown file summarizing the event.

You should start the incident postmortem process only after incident resolution has occurred. The Skill assumes the incident is resolved and requires incident details as input to begin the analysis.

The best way to structure action items from root cause analysis is to automate their generation alongside the incident timeline. This Skill outputs a structured Markdown file containing the resulting action items.

No, you cannot use this postmortem process for incidents that are still ongoing. The Skill explicitly assumes that incident resolution has already occurred and requires details of the resolved event as input.
