When an incident review is needed after a SEV1/SEV2 outage, customer-facing downtime >15min, data loss, security event, or near-miss; or when writing/improving postmortem docs.
references/details.md for full template library and worked examplesA structured blameless postmortem with timeline, root cause analysis, and owned action items that drives learning and prevents recurrence.
Use Cases
A payment service suffers a 47-minute SEV1 outage from DB connection exhaustion. The on-call lead uses this skill to draft a blameless postmortem with the 5 Whys template, identifying missing tests and review gaps. The meeting yields owned action items (add infra tests, doc patterns, canary). Value: systemic fixes and no repeat outage.
After a 12-minute SEV3 cache miss storm, an engineer uses the quick postmortem template to record timeline, root cause, and lesson (no full flush). Shared widely, it reveals a pattern across minor incidents and feeds the quarterly review. Value: low-effort learning capture and pattern visibility.
