--- name: incident-hotfix description: Coder-focused incident response and hotfix execution for production issues. Use when you need reproducible triage, patch/rollback decisions, CI-safe hotfix branches, evidence capture, and postmortem action tracking tied to code changes. --- # Incident Hotfix Use this alongside broader incident-response skills when code-level action is required. ## Workflow 1. **Classify severity** using `references/severity-matrix.md` 2. **Create hotfix branch** from current production tag/commit 3. **Reproduce and isolate** with minimal failing test 4. **Patch with rollback plan** 5. **Run focused CI checks** 6. **Capture evidence bundle** 7. **Merge + verify + postmortem actions** ## Step 1 — Create incident workspace ```bash bash scripts/start_hotfix.sh --id INC-1234 --base main ``` This creates: - `hotfix/INC-1234-<slug>` branch - `docs/incidents/INC-1234/` folder - starter files for timeline, rollback, and actions ## Step 2 — Evidence capture ```bash bash scripts/capture_evidence.sh --id INC-1234 ``` Collects into `docs/incidents/INC-1234/evidence/`: - latest commits + diff summary - changed files list - local env snapshot (safe subset) - test output logs ## Step 3 — Patch gate Before PR/merge, ensure: - failing case reproduced (or clearly documented) - minimal patch scope - rollback command documented in `ROLLBACK.md` - focused tests pass + no new lint/type failures ## Step 4 — Postmortem actions Use `references/action-template.md` to convert findings into concrete tasks: - owner - due date - verification criteria ## Required outputs - `docs/incidents/<id>/TIMELINE.md` - `docs/incidents/<id>/ROLLBACK.md` - `docs/incidents/<id>/ACTIONS.md` - `docs/incidents/<id>/evidence/` bundle ## Notes - Prefer smallest safe patch over broad refactor during incident. - If root cause is uncertain, ship containment first, then permanent fix. - Never merge hotfix without rollback path.
