Incident Response Assistant

[!CAUTION] This skill is an assistive tool only and does not replace professional incident management platforms, security tooling, or qualified human review. All generated triage assessments, diagnostic queries, mitigation recommendations, and root cause analysis documentation must be reviewed and validated by qualified operations and security professionals before use. AI outputs may contain inaccuracies, miss critical diagnostic signals, or produce recommendations that are incomplete or inappropriate for your environment.
