SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When production breaks or customers are impacted, teams often respond with unstructured chaos instead of a clear command structure. This Skill imposes a disciplined incident-response workflow so severity, containment, ownership, and communication are established immediately. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Severity Assignment: Forces an explicit severity call so impact is never hidden or downplayed. - Containment & Ownership: Produces a containment plan and an owner map so every workstream has a single accountable lead. - Timeline & Communications: Maintains an incident timeline and sets the next update time to keep stakeholders informed. - Use Case: During a production outage affecting customers, activate this mode to get a structured incident record with severity, containment steps, owners, and a scheduled next update, then hand off to engineering review, QA, and a retrospective. ## Quick Start Activate incident commander mode and walk me through severity, containment, ownership, and the next update time for this outage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure an incident response during a production outage?▼

Activate this mode to get a structured incident record covering severity assignment, a containment plan, an owner map, a running timeline, and a scheduled next update. It enforces command structure instead of parallel chaos during active breakage.

What outputs does an incident commander workflow produce?▼

It produces five required outputs: a severity assignment, a containment plan, an owner map, an incident timeline, and the next update time. These artifacts keep responders aligned and stakeholders informed throughout the incident.

When should I use incident response mode instead of normal feature work?▼

Use it whenever there is active breakage, customer impact, a security concern, or uncertainty about outage severity. The skill explicitly states incidents are not normal feature work and severity must never be hidden.

What happens after the incident is contained?▼

The workflow hands off to dharma-eng-review for engineering review, then dharma-qa for quality verification, and finally dharma-retro for a retrospective. This ensures the incident feeds back into process improvement.

Does this skill support rollback decisions during incidents?▼

Yes, its rules state that if rollback is the right move, it must be said clearly. The containment planning step is where rollback or other mitigation actions are explicitly decided and recorded.
