FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a structured incident report for a software deployment failure?

To generate a structured incident report, invoke the skill to document the deployment failure, which produces a consistent Markdown report including incident datetime, technical mechanisms, and impact within the .sweetclaude/failure/ directory.

What is the best way to perform root cause analysis for software development incidents?

The best way to perform root cause analysis for development incidents is using a structured 5-whys methodology, which guides you through iterative questioning to identify the underlying source of the failure accurately without relying on vague memory.

Do I need git integration to document project post-mortems and mistakes?

Yes, you need git integration to document project post-mortems because the skill requires git SHAs and timestamps to verify repository history, ensuring reports are evidence-based and anchored in verifiable commit data for accurate incident reconstruction.

How does evidence-based reporting improve software failure traceability?

Evidence-based reporting improves software failure traceability by enforcing the use of git SHAs, timestamps, and file paths, which anchors incident documentation in verifiable repository history and maintains a traceable record of project mistakes and corrections.

When should I use a standardized post-mortem format for incident reporting?

You should use a standardized post-mortem format for incident reporting whenever a project mistake or failure occurs, ensuring lessons are captured accurately and consistently to prevent recurrence and maintain a traceable history of corrections.
