Use after a failed launch, missed quarter or bad hire. Runs a blameless 5-Whys with a change register.

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

# /executive-mentor:postmortem — Honest Analysis of What Went Wrong

**Command:** `/executive-mentor:postmortem <event>`

Not blame. Understanding. The failed deal, the missed quarter, the feature that flopped, the hire that didn't work out. What actually happened, why, and what changes as a result.

---

## Why Most Post-Mortems Fail

They become one of two things:

**The blame session** — someone gets scapegoated, defensive walls go up, actual causes don't get examined, and the same problem happens again in a different form.

**The whitewash** — "We learned a lot, we're going to do better, here are 12 vague action items." Nothing changes. Same problem, different quarter.

A real post-mortem is neither. It's a rigorous investigation into a system failure. Not "whose fault was it" but "what conditions made this outcome predictable in hindsight?"

**The purpose:** extract the maximum learning value from a failure so you can prevent recurrence and improve the system.

---

## The Framework

### Step 1: Define the Event Precisely

Before analysis: describe exactly what happened.

- What was the expected outcome?
- What was the actual outcome?
- When was the gap first visible?
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alirezarezvani/claude-skills/postmortem@sha256:5d4072ed68a3a793

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.a0c7b8f, 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.
