# Postmortem Write
## Purpose
Generate a blameless postmortem document for an incident. Used by
the `sre` and `incident-responder` agents. The output is a draft
the incident commander edits — it enforces the section order,
forces UTC timestamps, and requires every action item to have an
owner and due date before the doc passes lint.
## Scope
- Reads incident artifacts the operator points it at:
- chat transcript (Slack export, Discord export, generic
`messages.json`)
- alert firings within the incident window
- deploy log around the incident window
- any operator-written notes
- Produces a postmortem markdown at
`postmortems/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md`.
- Enforces the blameless-postmortem template: timeline in UTC,
impact quantified, root cause stated, what-worked / what-didn't,
action items with owners + due dates.
- Does NOT publish to a wiki or send to stakeholders; the operator
commits and notifies separately.
## When to use
- Within 5 business days of an incident. Memory decays fast; the
fresher the writeup, the more useful.
- For sev-1 and sev-2 incidents always. Sev-3: optional, but
recommended if the incident revealed a process gap.
- After a near-miss that didn't page but should have (latent
failure mode caught by chance) — call it a "near-miss
postmortem" with the same template.
## When NOT to use
- For routine deploy rollbacks that worked. A rollback is not an
incident; it's the system working as designed.
- As performance review mat
