Skill16k starsChanged 12 days agoMITView on GitHub

First-pass triage of a possible production incident for Paradev's hosted services. Gathers signals (recent deploys, Sentry spikes, health checks), proposes a severity and a status.paradev.com message, then stops for human approval. Use when someone reports an outage, errors spike, or asks "is something down?".

    write-runbook

    Generate an operational runbook for a service from its code, config, and dependencies — what to do when it breaks, where to look, how to roll back, who to escalate to. Use proactively before a service goes to production, after a major incident, or when handing off operational ownership.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

10 rules. 0 are common, 8 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 17 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 8

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Read-only. Do not deploy, roll back, disable workflows, change flags, resolve Sentry issues, or run SQL that writes.

    line 14
  2. Very specific:

    Do not post to status.paradev.com, Slack, Discord, Plain, X, or any other channel.

    line 16
  3. Distinctive:

    If a tool is not connected or a check fails, write "not checked" and the reason.

    line 18
  4. Distinctive:

    Use UTC times everywhere.

    line 19
  5. Distinctive:

    Write one line each:

    line 23
  6. Distinctive:

    When it started (first report, or first signal you find).

    line 26
  7. Very specific:

    If only one user or one machine is affected, stop here.

    line 29
  8. Distinctive:

    Run the checks that can run in parallel at the same time.

    line 34
  9. Distinctive:

    Sentry: Use the Sentry MCP tools when they are connected.

    line 44
  10. Distinctive:

    Wait for the human. If they approve the message, they post it in incident.io themselves.

    line 93

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 17 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Incident triage

You gather facts and draft. A human decides and posts. The runbook is docs/runbooks/incidents.md; read its "Severity" and "Status page updates" sections before you start.

Rules

  • Read-only. Do not deploy, roll back, disable workflows, change flags, resolve Sentry issues, or run SQL that writes.
  • Do not post to status.paradev.com, Slack, Discord, Plain, X, or any other channel. Do not declare an incident. Your output is a draft in this conversation.
  • If a tool is not connected or a check fails, write "not checked" and the reason. Do not guess.
  • Use UTC times everywhere.

1. Frame the report

Write one line each:

  • What users see, in their words.
  • When it started (first report, or first signal you find).
  • Who is affected: everyone, one region, one feature, one version, or one user.

If only one user or one machine is affected, stop here. Tell the human that this is a support issue, and suggest the superset:doctor skill (and superset status for host state).

2. Gather signals

Run the checks that can run in parallel at the same time. Record each result with its time.

  1. Recent deploys
    gh run list --workflow "Deploy Production" --limit 5 \
      --json databaseId,headSha,status,conclusion,createdAt,updatedAt
    git log --since="6 hours ago" --oneline origin/main
    For a run near the start time, look at the failed or slow jobs, especially deploy-database (migrations): gh run view <id> --json jobs.
  2. Sentry. Use the Sentry MCP tools when they are connected. Search for issues first seen or spiking in the last 2 hours, in every project: api, web, admin, marketing, docs, relay (it also holds realtime), sandbox, desktop, host-service, mobile. For each match, record the issue title, event count, first-seen time, and the release.
  3. Health checks (GET only, 10-second timeout):
    curl -sS -m 10 -w ' %{http_code} %{time_total}s\n' https://relay.superset.sh/health
    curl -sS -m 10 -w ' %{http_code} %{time_total}s\n' https://realtime.superset.sh/health
    curl -sS -m 10 -w ' %{http_code} %{time_total}s\n' https://api.superset.sh/api/health
    Expected: relay {"ok":true,"proto":2} 200, realtime {"ok":true} 200, API {"ok":true,"database":"ok"} 200. A 503 from the API names the database state. Any other 5xx or a timeout is a failure. Also read https://status.paradev.com/api/v2/summary.json to see what the page shows now.
  4. Vercel (if the CLI is linked): vercel ls for recent production deploys, and vercel logs <deployment-url> for errors around the start time.
  5. Upstream status. Name the upstream provider that the signals point to (Vercel, Cloudflare, Neon, GitHub), and ask the human to check its status page. Do not fetch those pages yourself unless the human asks.

3. Propose

Reply with this block and nothing after it:

## Triage draft (not posted)

Summary: <one line: what is broken, since when, for whom>

Signals
- Deploys: <result>
- Sentry: <result>
- Health: relay <code>, realtime <code>, api <code>
- Vercel: <result or "not checked: reason">
- Likely cause: <one line, or "unknown">

Proposed severity: SEV<1|2|3> — <one-line reason from the runbook table>

Proposed status.paradev.com update (<Investigating|Identified|Monitoring|Resolved>):
> <message from the runbook template, filled in>

Suggested next steps for the lead:
1. <for example "roll back deployment X with vercel rollback">
2. ...

Waiting for approval. I have not posted, deployed, or changed anything.

4. Stop

Wait for the human. If they approve the message, they post it in incident.io themselves. If they ask for a change, redraft and stop again. This skill stays read-only after approval. A rollback or any other write action is a separate request outside this skill.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
