SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Close a restored incident by validating the linked problem's terminal state or No Problem justification, then archive it by renaming the file from .restored.md to .closed.md.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gate closure when the Linked Problem is in a terminal state (Known Error, Verifying, or Closed) or when a No Problem justification exists.
  • Rename the incident file from .restored.md to .closed.md to reflect the closed lifecycle.
  • Update the incident Status to Closed and append a new entry to the Timeline with a UTC timestamp for auditability and traceability.

Quick Start

Close the restored incident by running the close-incident skill against the target incident.

FAQPage Schema
How do I close an ITIL incident when the linked problem is resolved?

To close an ITIL incident, the linked problem must be in a terminal state such as Known Error, Verifying, or Closed. The skill validates this state, updates the incident Status to Closed, and renames the file from .restored.md to .closed.md.

What is the ITIL incident closure process for restored incidents?

The ITIL incident closure process validates the linked problem's terminal state or a No Problem justification. It then updates the Status field to Closed, appends a UTC timestamp to the Timeline, and renames the incident file to .closed.md.

How do I archive a restored incident file to reflect its closed lifecycle?

You archive a restored incident file by renaming it from .restored.md to .closed.md. This action is gated by verifying the linked problem's terminal state or a No Problem justification to ensure proper lifecycle closure.

Can I close an incident if there is no linked problem?

Yes, you can close an incident when a No Problem justification is present. The skill enforces gating rules that allow closure if the linked problem is in a terminal state or if a valid No Problem justification exists.

How does the incident closure workflow ensure auditability?

The incident closure workflow ensures auditability by updating the Status field to Closed and appending a new entry to the Timeline with a UTC timestamp. This provides traceability for the incident lifecycle transition.

Why is my incident closure blocked when the linked problem is still open?

Incident closure is blocked because the skill enforces gating rules requiring the linked problem to be in a terminal state, such as Known Error, Verifying, or Closed. You must resolve the problem first or provide a No Problem justification.
