App Recovery

Use this skill when creating or managing recovery actions for critical app issues.

List recovery actions

gpc recovery list --package com.example.app

Create recovery action

gpc recovery create --file recovery.json --package com.example.app

Deploy recovery action

gpc recovery deploy --recovery-id abc123 --confirm --package com.example.app

Cancel recovery action

gpc recovery cancel --recovery-id abc123 --confirm --package com.example.app

Add targeting

gpc recovery add-targeting --recovery-id abc123 --file targeting.json --package com.example.app

Recovery workflow

1. Identify the issue via vitals:

gpc vitals crashes --days 1 --package com.example.app

2. Create recovery action:

gpc recovery create --file recovery.json --package com.example.app

3. Add targeting for affected versions:

gpc recovery add-targeting --recovery-id $RECOVERY_ID --file targeting.json --package com.example.app

4. Deploy:

gpc recovery deploy --recovery-id $RECOVERY_ID --confirm --package com.example.app

Agent behavior

• Always check vitals before recommending recovery actions.
• Show recovery action details before deploying.
• Require explicit --confirm for deploy and cancel operations.
• Never deploy recovery actions without user approval.

Notes

• Recovery actions notify affected users about the issue.
• Use targeting to limit the recovery to specific app versions or devices.
• See gpc-vitals skill for monitoring crash rates.
