name: incident-review
description: Post-mortem on incidents
role_groups: [engineering, operations]
jtbd: |
  Incidents happen and learnings get lost without proper post-mortems. This gathers 
  incident notes and timeline, prompts for root cause analysis, documents action 
  items, and saves to 06-Resources/Learnings/ so you build institutional knowledge 
  and prevent recurrence.
time_investment: "30-45 minutes per incident"
---

## Purpose

Document incident learnings through structured post-mortem to prevent recurrence.

## Usage

- `/incident-review [incident-name]` - Review specific incident

---

## Steps

1. **Gather incident context:**
   - Timeline of events
   - Systems affected
   - Customer impact
   - Duration/downtime

2. **Prompt for root cause analysis:**
   - What happened?
   - Why did it happen?
   - Why wasn't it caught earlier?

3. **Identify action items:**
   - Immediate fixes
   - Long-term prevention
   - Monitoring improvements
   - Process changes

4. **Create post-mortem document** in 06-Resources/Learnings/

---
