description	Generate a comprehensive on-call handoff document by aggregating open incidents, ongoing issues, recent deployments, and systems to watch. Orchestrates PagerDuty, Jira, and ArgoCD agents. Use during on-call rotation changes or shift handoffs.

On-Call Handoff

Build a structured handoff document for the incoming on-call engineer by collecting data from PagerDuty, Jira, and ArgoCD.

Instructions

Phase 1: Current Incident State (PagerDuty Agent)

1. Active incidents - all triggered and acknowledged incidents
2. Recently resolved incidents - resolved in the last 24 hours (may recur)
3. Current on-call schedule - who is on-call now, who is taking over
4. Upcoming maintenance windows - scheduled within the next 48 hours

Phase 2: Ongoing Issues (Jira Agent)

1. Open incident tickets - Jira issues labeled `incident`, `outage`, `p0`, `p1`
2. Known issues - issues labeled `known-issue` or `workaround`
3. Recently closed issues - resolved in last 48 hours that may have follow-ups
4. Pending changes - tickets in "Ready for Deploy" or "In Review" status

Phase 3: Environment State (ArgoCD Agent)

1. Recent deployments - applications synced in the last 48 hours
2. Unhealthy applications - any OutOfSync, Degraded, or Unknown apps
3. Pending syncs - applications with pending changes not yet deployed
4. Recent rollbacks - any applications that were rolled back

Phase 4: Compile Handoff Document

Organize all data into a structured, scannable document with clear action items.

On-Call Handoff Document

Date: February 9, 2026 Outgoing: @engineer-a | Incoming: @engineer-b

Active Incidents (Action Required)

Incident	Service	Urgency	Duration	Status

Systems to Watch

1. auth-service - Connection pool issue ongoing
2. payment-api - Hotfix deployed yesterday, watch for regression ```

Examples

• "Generate an on-call handoff document"
• "Prepare a shift handoff for the incoming on-call engineer"
• "What should the next on-call person know about?"
• "Summarize the current state of production for handoff"

Guidelines

• Prioritize actionable information - what does the incoming engineer need to DO?
• Include workarounds for known issues so the incoming engineer does not have to search
• Mark items as "action required" vs "monitor" vs "FYI" for clear prioritization
• Always include escalation contacts with team context
• Keep the last 48 hours as the default lookback window for context
• If no active incidents exist, say so explicitly (this is good news)
