name: postmortem-draft

description: Turn resolved-incident fragments into a traceable postmortem that separates fragment-cited facts from hypotheses, blocks publication while unknowns remain, and keeps the comms send behind a human gate.

# Postmortem Draft

Produce a postmortem that never pretends unknowns are facts. The supplied

incident fragments are the only evidence; the drafting agent separates what

happened from what is suspected, and deterministic code verifies every claimed

fact against the fragments. Publication is a gated proposal, never an effect

of this skill.

## Procedure

1. Native `data.digest` binds the exact fragment set.

2. The drafting agent assembles a summary, an evidence-cited timeline, a root

cause with a status of `known`, `suspected`, or `unknown`, open unknowns,

and owned action items.

3. Deterministic enforcement checks every timeline entry and any non-unknown

root cause: the cited fragment must exist and the quote must appear

verbatim in that fragment's text. An invented citation refuses the whole

run. Action items must carry an action and an owner.

4. The verdict separates completeness from honesty: a fully cited postmortem

with a supported root cause and no open unknowns is `publishable` and

carries a publish proposal gated on a human approver through `message-send`; a

grounded but incomplete one seals `needs_more_evidence` and publishes

nothing.

To build the fragment set from live systems, compose `web-fetch` or store

reads upstream; the digest binds whatever evidence was supplied.

Running the incident belongs to its operator; this skill explains it afterward.

## Output

- `postmortem` (`runx.postmortem.v1`) carries `decision` (`publishable`,

+ `postmortem` (`runx/postmortem-draft.postmortem.v1`) carries `decision` (`publishable`,

`needs_more_evidence`, `refused`), `summary`, the cited `timeline`,

`root_cause`, `unknowns`, `action_items`, the gated `publish_proposal` or

null, `validation`, and the fragments digest. `publish_performed` is always

false.

- Inputs are `incident_ref` and `incident_fragments`.

+ Inputs are `incident_id` and `incident_fragments`.

## Agent task contracts

### `postmortem-draft-draft`

- Read `incident_ref` and `incident_fragments` from step inputs. Return

+ Read `incident_id` and `incident_fragments` from step inputs. Return

`postmortem_draft` with `summary`, `timeline` entries (each `entry`,

`fragment_id`, `quote`), `root_cause` (`status`, and for known or suspected a

`statement`, `fragment_id`, and `quote`), `unknowns`, and `action_items`

(each `action`, `owner`). Quote fragments verbatim, mark anything the

fragments do not support as unknown rather than asserting it, and never

invent fragments, quotes, owners, or deadlines.
