Blameless post-mortem structure, incident timeline reconstruction, response evaluation, and organizational learning.

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

# Post-Mortem Framework

## Principles

- **Blameless**: focus on systems/processes, not individuals. People make reasonable decisions given available info.
- **Evidence-based**: every finding backed by logs, metrics, or documented actions
- **Action-oriented**: every finding produces concrete, assigned action item
- **Learning-focused**: capture what worked alongside what failed

## Post-Mortem Document Structure

```markdown
# Post-Mortem: [Incident Title]

**Date**: [incident date]
**Duration**: [start to resolution]
**Severity**: [P0-P3]
**Author**: [analyst]

## Summary
[2-3 sentence overview: what happened, impact, resolution]

## Timeline
| Time | Event | Source |
|------|-------|--------|
| HH:MM | [event] | [log/metric/report] |

## Impact
- Users affected: [number/percentage]
- Duration of impact: [time]
- Business impact: [quantified if possible]
- Systems affected: [list]

## Root Cause Analysis
[5 Whys analysis with evidence at each level]

## Detection and Response
- Time to detect: [duration] -- [how detected]
- Time to respond: [duration] -- [first action]
- Time to mitigate: [duration] -- [mitigation applied]
- Time to resolve: [duration] -- [permanent fix]

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-post-mortem-framework@sha256:ca6a9c988ff063ef

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260320.d98f3cb, 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.
