SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Triage active incidents from alerts or failures into explicit hypotheses, mitigations, evidence, and next actions to stabilize systems and provide a clear incident trail.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate concise hypotheses from symptoms and logs.
  • Propose minimal, testable mitigations and track evidence for audits.
  • Maintain a durable incident state across live runtime data with linked records (incident_case, hypothesis_set, mitigation_action, status_update).

Quick Start

Describe an active incident to CTOX and generate a grounded, actionable incident response plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage active incidents with clear hypotheses and mitigations?

To triage incidents, you generate concise hypotheses from symptoms and logs, propose minimal testable mitigations, and track evidence. This creates an auditable incident trail linking incident cases, mitigation actions, and status updates.

How does incident response triage work for latency spikes or failed deployments?

Incident response triage works by evaluating live runtime state during outages or latency spikes, forming explicit hypotheses, and tracking mitigation evidence. It applies structured containment to stabilize systems and document the incident trail.

Can I use SQLite to maintain durable incident state and auditable evidence?

Yes, incident state is stored durably in a shared SQLite kernel. This persists linked records like incident cases, hypothesis sets, and mitigation actions, ensuring evidence is maintained for audits across live runtime data.

What's the best way to document incident trails across recurring alert clusters?

The best way to document incident trails is by capturing linked records of hypotheses, mitigations, and evidence in a shared SQLite kernel. This provides grounded decision recommendations and a clear, auditable history of the active incident.

Do I need helper scripts to collect and analyze incident evidence?

Helper scripts are included for collection, persistence, and analysis of incident evidence. They support the SQLite kernel by gathering live runtime state to generate grounded, actionable incident response plans and recommendations.

Why does incident response require tracking explicit hypotheses and next actions?

Incident response requires tracking explicit hypotheses to propose minimal, testable mitigations. Documenting next actions and evidence ensures an auditable trail that stabilizes systems and provides clear decision recommendations.
