    incident-response

    Run an incident response workflow — triage, communicate, and write postmortem. Trigger with "we have an incident", "production is down", an alert that needs severity assessment, a status update mid-incident, or when writing a blameless postmortem after resolution.

    Adversarial systems, concurrency, memory-model, and architecture code review protocol. Use this skill whenever asked to review code, PRs, diffs, or branches in Filament.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

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

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 22 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 2

    Distinctive

    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
  1. Distinctive:

    Read official changelog/release notes and security advisories when available.

    line 11
  2. Distinctive:

    Run targeted build, tests, and critical integration checks.

    line 14

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 22 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.

Dependency upgrade

Upgrade for a reason. Avoid turning one package bump into a lockfile rewrite of the world.

  1. Confirm requested packages, target version policy, package manager, supported runtimes, and the real dependency manifest and lockfile.
  2. Read official changelog/release notes and security advisories when available. If sources are unavailable, state the limitation and avoid invented migration instructions.
  3. Compare compatibility: major-version breaks, transitive movement, peer requirements, native toolchains, license changes, build scripts, and package provenance when relevant.
  4. Establish baseline verification. Update only scoped manifests and the required lockfile using the project's existing tooling; do not disable checks or ignore unrelated lockfile churn.
  5. Run targeted build, tests, and critical integration checks. Inspect exact manifest/lockfile changes and unexpected new packages or install scripts.
  6. Report observed version changes, residual risks, and any follow-up migration. Stop for suspicious provenance, unexpected script execution requirements, or a broad unexplained dependency graph rewrite.

Boundaries

Package installation may run third-party scripts or contact a registry. Honor the sandbox and authorization rules; explain when verification cannot be done safely. Never publish packages or change CI credentials as part of a version bump.

Output

Before/after versions, reason, scope, compatibility changes, checks, unexpected transitive changes, remaining risks.

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.
