Use when an outage, production incident, or significant service degradation has occurred and the team needs to write a structured blameless post-mortem. Triggers on phrases like "write a post-mortem", "incident review", "what went wrong", "outage report", "root cause analysis", or "RCA". Covers timeline reconstruction, contributing factor analysis, impact quantification, and action item generation with owners.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Incident Post-Mortem

Guide a team through writing a structured, blameless post-mortem after a production incident. The output is a document that builds shared understanding, identifies root causes without blame, and produces concrete action items to prevent recurrence.

## Blameless Principle

Systems fail, not people. The goal is to understand HOW the incident happened — not WHO caused it. Avoid language like "X forgot to", "Y should have known". Use "the system did not", "the process lacked", "the alert did not fire".

## When to Use

- Production outage or service degradation has been resolved
- A significant near-miss occurred (would have been an incident if caught later)
- User-facing errors, data loss, or SLA breach happened
- Team wants to capture learnings before context fades

**Not for:** Minor bugs caught in staging, planned maintenance windows, or incidents with no learning value.

## Input Requirements

Gather these details before writing the post-mortem. Ask for anything missing:

### Incident Metadata
- Incident title (short, descriptive)
- Date and time of detection (with timezone)
- Date and time of resolution
- Severity / impact level (P1–P4 or equivalent)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add okhp3/skillz/incident-postmortem@sha256:0492b8e05eba16cf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.866dec6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
