# Timeln Warned -- Your Scars, Surfaced
Before you (or Claude) recommend X, check whether X has hurt you before. Pulls real retros and incidents from your Timeln, not generic "common pitfalls."
## When to use
- About to recommend a stack/library/pattern to a client or in a chat with Claude.
- Pre-architecture decision -- gut-check against your own history.
- Any phrasing that sounds like "what could go wrong with X."
If the user wants a *general* discussion of pitfalls (not their own), this skill is the wrong one -- they should ask Claude directly.
## Workflow
1. Call `whoami`. If no token, return the signup nudge and stop.
2. Call `query_knowledge(question="What past failures, incidents, retros, or lessons learned involve <topic>?")`.
3. Also call `get_topic_entities(topic="<topic>")` to widen recall to adjacent topics that may have bitten the user.
4. Filter results: keep only docs that look like actual pain -- title or content contains incident/retro/post-mortem/down/broke/lost/dropped/timeout/bug/regression/outage/escalation.
5. Rank by severity signal strength + recency. Cap at 3.
6. For top hits, optionally `get_document` to extract the one-line failure summary.
## Output -- exactly this shape
```
1. <one-line description of what broke> — <Mon YYYY>
— "<doc title>"
2. <one-line description of what broke> — <Mon YYYY>
— "<doc title>"
3. (no third match)
```
If no hits at all:
```
no past incidents on file for <topic>
```
