Use this skill when

• Working on incident response incident response tasks or workflows
• Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for incident response incident response

Do not use this skill when

• The task is unrelated to incident response incident response
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

• Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
• Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
• Provide actionable steps and verification.
• If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Orchestrate multi-agent incident response with modern SRE practices for rapid resolution and learning:

[Extended thinking: This workflow implements a comprehensive incident command system (ICS) following modern SRE principles. Multiple specialized agents collaborate through defined phases: detection/triage, investigation/mitigation, communication/coordination, and resolution/postmortem. The workflow emphasizes speed without sacrificing accuracy, maintains clear communication channels, and ensures every incident becomes a learning opportunity through blameless postmortems and systematic improvements.]

Configuration

Severity Levels

• P0/SEV-1: Complete outage, security breach, data loss - immediate all-hands response
• P1/SEV-2: Major degradation, significant user impact - rapid response required
• P2/SEV-3: Minor degradation, limited impact - standard response
• P3/SEV-4: Cosmetic issues, no user impact - scheduled resolution

Incident Types

• Performance degradation
• Service outage
• Security incident
• Data integrity issue
• Infrastructure failure
• Third-party service disruption

Phase 1: Detection & Triage

1. Incident Detection and Classification

• Use Task tool with subagent_type="incident-responder"
• Prompt: "URGENT: Detect and classify incident: $ARGUMENTS. Analyze alerts from PagerDuty/Opsgenie/monitoring. Determine: 1) Incident severity (P0-P3), 2) Affected services and dependencies, 3) User impact and business risk, 4) Initial incident command structure needed. Check error budgets and SLO violations."
• Output: Severity classification, impact assessment, incident command assignments, SLO status
• Context: Initial alerts, monitoring dashboards, recent changes

2. Observability Analysis
