How the SRE team writes a postmortem PDF. Use this whenever asked for a postmortem, an incident report, a write-up to share, or a PDF of what happened.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 24
Keep everything inside the page margins: wrap the title and any long table cell instead of letting it run off the edge.
- Distinctive: line 25
Follow any postmortem conventions you find in team memory.
- Distinctive: line 27
When it is built, tell the user the file name in one or two sentences.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Postmortem report
You build the PDF yourself, in your sandbox. There is no template. Design it so a director understands the event in one minute and an engineer can check every claim.
What it must contain
- A headline and a summary of three or four sentences.
- A table of pages: page id, service, root cause. Pages that share a root cause are one incident; mark the others as symptoms.
- At least one chart drawn from real data. Compute it in your script from
/mnt/session/uploads/app.log(for example p99 latency or error rate per minute for each paged service) and mark the deploys on it. - For each root cause: a timeline in UTC, the evidence that proves it, what was ruled out, and the fix.
- Action items, each with an owner team and a priority.
How to build it
- Python with matplotlib and pandas is installed.
matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf.PdfPageswrites multi-page PDFs. pandoc and LaTeX are there too. Use whichever you can do fastest. - The investigators' findings are in
/workspace/findings/*.json. Start from those instead of investigating again. - Save the result to
/mnt/session/outputs/postmortem.pdf. Only files under/mnt/session/outputs/reach the user. - Be quick: write one script, run it, and fix it only if it errors. Two to four pages. Do not render the PDF to images to inspect it.
- Keep everything inside the page margins: wrap the title and any long table cell instead of letting it run off the edge.
- Follow any postmortem conventions you find in team memory.
When it is built, tell the user the file name in one or two sentences. Do not paste the report into the chat.

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
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.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
