incident-postmortem-drafter

When to invoke

• You have an outage/incident timeline and need a consistent postmortem draft.
• You want to standardize incident write-ups across teams.

Inputs needed

• Incident metadata: title, date/time, duration, severity.
• Impact summary: customer impact, internal impact, key metrics.
• Timeline of events (timestamp + event).
• Contributing factors (optional) and what went well/poorly.
• Action items (optional; can be generated placeholders).

Workflow

1. Validate required fields and normalize timestamps.
2. Derive key milestones (start, detection, mitigation, resolution).
3. Summarize impact and customer communication.
4. Generate a blameless narrative: what happened and why (avoid personal attribution).
5. Produce corrective and preventive actions (CPAs) with owners and due dates if provided; otherwise create placeholders.
