SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates manual reconstruction of incidents by automatically reading campaign files, telemetry logs, and git history to produce a cohesive postmortem and actionable recommendations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Collection: Aggregates campaign files, telemetry (.planning/telemetry/), and git commits to create the evidence base for a retrospective.
  • Structured Analysis: Identifies what broke, what safety systems caught, scope drift, recurring patterns, and the cost of failures.
  • Outcome Generation: Produces a markdown postmortem in .planning/postmortems/ with summaries, numbered failure analyses, safety system tables, metrics, and concrete recommendations.
  • Use Case: Run after a completed Archon campaign, after a difficult debugging session, or on-demand to document an incident without manual reconstruction.

Quick Start

Run /postmortem to analyze the most recent completed campaign and generate a structured postmortem saved to .planning/postmortems/.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a postmortem from git history and telemetry logs?▼

To generate a postmortem, run the analysis command against completed campaigns, telemetry files, and git history to automatically extract failures, safety catches, and recommendations into a structured markdown document.

What is the best way to automate incident analysis for a completed software campaign?▼

Automated incident analysis reads campaign artifacts and telemetry logs to identify what broke, what safety systems caught, and scope drift, producing a cohesive postmortem with actionable recommendations without manual reconstruction.

Can I run a retrospective on an ad-hoc debugging session instead of a full campaign?▼

Yes, you can apply the retrospective analysis to ad-hoc debugging sessions or a specified time range, summarizing failures, safety catches, and scope drift even outside of formal campaign structures.

Does postmortem generation work if telemetry logs are missing?▼

Yes, the postmortem generator includes fallbacks for missing telemetry or campaigns, ensuring it can still produce a structured markdown document with failure analyses and recommendations from available git history.

What limitations exist when summarizing failures from git commits and scope drift?▼

Limitations depend on the availability of campaign files and telemetry logs; while fallbacks exist for missing data, incomplete git history or sparse telemetry will reduce the accuracy of failure analysis and scope drift detection.
