Incident summaries

The postmortem writes its own first draft.

An agent reconstructs the timeline from your incident channel and the deploys around it, identifies the triggering change, and drafts the write-up with the facts already assembled.

How it works

Three steps to a standing task

  1. Step 01

    Point it at the incident channel

    Give the agent the Slack channel and the repositories involved. It reads the whole conversation, including threads, and pulls the commits and deploys inside the impact window.

  2. Step 02

    Hand it the task

    Run it manually when the incident closes, or on a schedule that sweeps for channels created since the last run. It builds the timeline and names the triggering change.

  3. Step 03

    Edit a draft instead of a blank page

    The postmortem lands in Notion with the timeline, the contributing factors, and the action items people already agreed to in the channel.

The run

What the agent actually does

Every step below is a real tool call: the agent reaches for the API it needs, reads what it finds, and acts.

Draft a postmortem from the #incident channel and the deploys around it.

  1. slack·read #incident-2025-03-06 in full
  2. github·list deploys and reverts in the window
  3. github·read the diff for the suspect deploy
  4. code·build the minute-by-minute timeline
  5. notion·create the postmortem draft

Postmortem drafted

  • 41-minute impact window reconstructed
  • Triggering deploy identified as #2833
  • Detection took 12 minutes; alerting gap noted
  • 5 action items pulled from the discussion
