Write a postmortem for a regression or incident that escaped to production, broke real users, and traces back to a design flaw worth documenting. Use when asked to "write a postmortem", "document an incident", "analyze a production failure", "root cause analysis", or "incident review". Only invoke after confirming no existing postmortem covers the same root cause.

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

# Postmortem Writing

Structured analysis of production incidents to capture root causes, prevent recurrence, and build organizational knowledge.

## When to Invoke

**All** must be true:

1. **Production escape** — the bug shipped in a released artifact
2. **User-visible breakage** — real users hit it
3. **Non-obvious root cause** — traces to a design assumption, invariant violation, or interaction between independently-correct changes
4. **Not already documented** — search the project's existing postmortem directory first

**Do NOT write a postmortem for:** typos, simple bugs caught by CI, issues where the fix is obvious from the diff, incidents without user impact.

---

## Before Writing

Answer these questions by investigating the codebase, PRs, and release history:

| Question                             | Why It Matters                                         |
| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| How did the bug reach users?         | Trace: which PR, which release, why CI didn't catch it |
| What made it hard to diagnose?       | Misleading errors? Symptom far from cause?             |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall/postmortem@sha256:6d06fef162c12950

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.80a7ab6, 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.
