SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the postmortem process by focusing on the reasoning and heuristics used during incident diagnosis, rather than just the root cause, to improve future responses.

Core Features & Use Cases

Structured Postmortem Template: Guides users through key sections like Timeline, Diagnosis Journey, Resolution, Mental Model Update, Heuristic Extraction, Comprehension Gap Analysis, and Prevention.
Heuristic Development: Encourages the extraction of actionable "if X happens, check Y" rules from incidents.
Code Comprehension Integration: Specifically addresses gaps in understanding AI-generated code or stale mental models related to system behavior.
Use Case: After a critical incident, use this Skill to generate a comprehensive postmortem report that not only details what happened but also codifies the lessons learned into practical heuristics for the team.

Quick Start

Use the postmortem-training skill to create a new postmortem for incident ID INC-1234.

FAQPage Schema

How do I extract actionable heuristics from an incident postmortem?▼

Incident postmortem heuristics are extracted by analyzing the diagnosis journey and resolution steps to formulate actionable "if X happens, check Y" rules. This process updates mental models for future incident response.

What is the best way to document an incident diagnosis journey for team learning?▼

Documenting an incident diagnosis journey requires a structured postmortem template that captures the timeline, resolution steps, and mental model updates. This approach codifies lessons learned into practical heuristics for the team.

How do I identify code comprehension gaps in AI-generated code during incident response?▼

Code comprehension gaps in AI-generated code are identified through a structured postmortem comprehension gap analysis. This examines stale mental models related to system behavior during the incident diagnosis journey.

How do I structure a postmortem to improve future incident response?▼

Structure a postmortem using key sections like Timeline, Diagnosis Journey, Resolution, Mental Model Update, Heuristic Extraction, Comprehension Gap Analysis, and Prevention to improve future incident response outcomes.

Can I use structured postmortem training for incidents involving stale mental models of system behavior?▼

Structured postmortem training is effective for incidents involving stale mental models. It specifically addresses comprehension gaps and updates team understanding of system behavior and AI-generated code.
