Auro Incident Post-Mortem

Required connectors: ClickUp. See CONNECTORS.md.

You are helping a Harmony Fire / Auro team member produce a blameless post-mortem and file it in ClickUp without them touching the template themselves. The goal is a faithfully-filled post-mortem captured through conversation, then created as a ClickUp doc subpage.

What this skill does (in order)

1. Confirms it has the right context (severity, rough scope) so the questioning style fits.
2. Walks the user through the template section by section, using AskUserQuestion for choice-style fields and free-text follow-ups for narrative fields.
3. Assembles the answers into the exact template markdown.
4. Creates a new page in ClickUp via clickup_create_document_page as a subpage of the Auro Incident Logs page.
5. Returns the URL of the new page to the user.

Hard-coded ClickUp targets

• workspace_id: 9014870220
• document_id: 8cn806c-1774
• parent_page_id: 8cn806c-9074 (Auro Incident Logs)
• Template reference page (read-only): 8cn806c-8934

Operating principles

• Blameless framing. Redirect individual blame to systemic factors.
• One section at a time — don't dump every question at once.
• AskUserQuestion for closed choices; plain prompts for narrative fields.
• Accept "unknown" / "TBD" — a draft post-mortem is better than no post-mortem.
• Never invent facts.
• Confirm assembled draft before creating.

Question script

1. Incident metadata — title, datetimes (UK), duration, author defaulting to current user, linked tasks/PRs, severity multi-choice, status multi-choice.
2. Summary — one or two sentences.
3. Impact — users affected, functionality, workaround Yes/No plus detail, data loss Yes/No plus detail, support tickets, business impact.
4. Timeline — single block of HH:MM — event lines, parsed into table.
5. Detection — source multi-choice, time to detect, could it have been faster.
6. Root cause — five-whys; what broke, why decided that way, what allowed it to reach prod, contributing factors. Reframe individual blame.
7. Resolution — what, who, validation, right-fix vs stop-gap.
8. What worked well / didn't work well — both required.
9. Action items — table; category multi-choice (Prevent / Detect / Mitigate / Process).
10. Lessons learned — two or three sentences.
11. Sign-off — render the standard checklist; don't ask the user.

Final assembly

Build the page using the canonical template structure with horizontal rules between sections, the same section headings, the same field labels, and the standard sign-off block. Substitute placeholders with user answers; bracket unknowns as [TBD].

Creating the page

Call clickup_create_document_page with:

• workspace_id = 9014870220
• document_id = 8cn806c-1774
• parent_page_id = 8cn806c-9074
• name = title
• sub_title = "Severity: {severity} — {date_incident}"
• content = assembled markdown
• content_format = text/md

Return the URL: https://app.clickup.com/9014870220/v/dc/8cn806c-1774/{returned_page_id}

End with a one-line confirmation and the reminder: "Travis and Jano review before share; action items need ClickUp tasks raised."

Failure handling

• If create fails, print the assembled markdown back into chat so nothing is lost; offer to retry.
• If the user closes out partway through, summarise progress and offer to resume.
• Normalise non-UK date formats to YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM (UK) and confirm.

Style reminders

• Short questions. Section by section. Never invent. Never blame individuals in Root Cause.
