Incident Response Assistant | 事故回應助手

SkillDocs & knowledge

Guide incident response, root cause analysis, and post-mortem documentation. Use when: production incident, outage response, post-mortem writing, RCA. Not for: designing retries and checkpoints before failure — use /durable; setting alert thresholds and Error Budget policy — use /slo. Keywords: incident, outage, post-mortem, RCA, root cause.

Guide structured incident response from detection through post-mortem.

引導結構化的事故回應流程,從偵測到事後檢討。

Severity Classification | 嚴重程度分類

LevelNameCriteria標準Response Time
SEV-1Critical 重大Full service outage, data loss全面服務中斷、資料遺失Immediate (< 15 min)
SEV-2High 高Major feature degraded, partial outage主要功能降級、部分中斷< 30 min
SEV-3Medium 中Minor feature affected, workaround exists次要功能受影響、有替代方案< 4 hours
SEV-4Low 低Cosmetic issue, minimal user impact外觀問題、最小用戶影響Next business day

Response Workflow | 回應工作流程

DETECT ──► TRIAGE ──► MITIGATE ──► RESOLVE ──► POST-MORTEM ──► IMPROVE
偵測         分級        緩解          解決         事後檢討       持續改善

1. Detect — Identify the Incident | 偵測事故

  • Monitor alerts, user reports, error spikes
  • 監控告警、使用者回報、錯誤量飆升

2. Triage — Classify Severity | 分級嚴重程度

  • Assign SEV level, identify Incident Commander (IC)
  • 指定嚴重等級、識別事故指揮官(IC)

3. Mitigate — Reduce Impact | 緩解影響

  • Apply temporary fix: rollback, feature flag, traffic shift
  • 套用暫時修復:回滾、功能開關、流量切換

4. Resolve — Permanent Fix | 永久修復

  • Root cause analysis, implement proper fix, deploy
  • 根因分析、實作正確修復、部署

5. Post-Mortem — Document & Analyze | 事後檢討

  • Document timeline, impact, root cause, action items
  • 記錄時間軸、影響範圍、根因、行動項目

6. Improve — Track & Prevent | 持續改善

  • Track action item completion, analyze incident trends, prevent recurrence
  • 追蹤行動項目完成度、分析事故趨勢、防止再發

Post-Mortem Template | 事後檢討模板

## Post-Mortem: [Incident Title]
**Date**: YYYY-MM-DD  |  **Severity**: SEV-N  |  **Duration**: Xh Ym

### Timeline
| Time | Event |
|------|-------|
| HH:MM | Alert triggered / 告警觸發 |
| HH:MM | IC assigned / 指派事故指揮官 |
| HH:MM | Mitigation applied / 套用緩解措施 |
| HH:MM | Resolved / 解決 |

### Impact
- Users affected / 受影響用戶數: N
- Revenue impact / 營收影響: $N
- SLA breach / SLA 違反: Yes/No

### Root Cause
[Description of the underlying cause / 根本原因描述]

### Action Items
| Action | Owner | Due Date | Priority | Status |
|--------|-------|----------|----------|--------|
| [Fix] | @name | YYYY-MM-DD | P0 | Open |

### Incident Metrics
- MTTR (Mean Time To Recovery): Xh Ym
- Detection Time: Xm (alert to IC assigned)
- Recurrence: First / Repeat (link to previous)

Next Steps Guidance | 下一步引導

After /incident completes, the AI assistant should suggest:

事故回應指引已提供。建議下一步 / Incident response guidance provided. Suggested next steps:

  • 提交修復 → 執行 /commit 建立修復提交 ⭐ Recommended / 推薦 — Create fix commit
  • 程式碼審查 → 執行 /code-review 審查修復變更 — Review fix changes
  • 記錄學習 → 執行 /docs 更新文件 — Document learnings
  • 安全審查 → 執行 /security 檢查安全影響 — Check security impact
  • 團隊回顧 → 執行 /retrospective(SEV-1/SEV-2 建議)— Team retrospective (recommended for SEV-1/2)
  • 查看行動項目 → 執行 /incident --actions — View open action items
