pir

Post Incident Record (PIR)

Discover issues from PagerDuty, Datadog, Cloudflare, and Rollbar concurrently, auto-determine severity, and produce completed PIR forms for each issue.

Inputs

Raw arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Infer from the arguments:

• QUERY: what to investigate. Passed directly to each sub-skill. Defaults to "incidents today".
• CF_DOMAIN_ZONE: (optional) Cloudflare domain and zone ID in domain:zone_id format. Passed to the cloudflare-traffic-investigator skill. If not provided, the cloudflare skill will ask the user.

Resolved during Step 1 (not provided directly):

• SINCE: UTC ISO8601 start of analysis window. Auto-derived from explicit time in QUERY or from PD incident timestamps.
• UNTIL: UTC ISO8601 end of analysis window. Auto-derived from explicit time in QUERY or from PD incident timestamps.
• PD_INCIDENT: PagerDuty incident ID detected from QUERY (triggers PD-first orchestration path).
• SERVICE_HINT: Service name extracted from PD incident (used to scope Datadog/Rollbar queries).
• TITLE_HINT: Incident title extracted from PD incident (used as Rollbar keyword search terms).
• SLACK_CHANNEL: Resolved in Step 2e — from invoker context or $SLACK_INCIDENT_CHANNEL env var. May be a single channel or a comma- or pipe-separated list of channels.

PIR Form Fields

Each PIR maps to these fields — see PIR Form Fields for format, examples, and output template:

Field	Required	Source
Impact Summary	Yes	Synthesised from all skills
What	Yes	PagerDuty incident + Datadog + Cloudflare
Who	Yes	Datadog (RUM/error tracking) + Cloudflare (user counts)
Culprit	Yes	Cloudflare (JA4, traffic sources) + Datadog (error traces) + Rollbar (stack traces, error-deploy correlation) + PagerDuty (trigger details) + Slack (root cause discussion) + Codebase analysis (culprit commits)
Incident date	Yes	Earliest detection across all sources (PagerDuty, Datadog, Cloudflare)
When	Yes	PagerDuty created/resolved + Datadog timeline
Remediation	Optional	PagerDuty notes + Datadog monitors + Slack (actions taken during incident)
Incident controller	Optional	PagerDuty escalation policy responders + Slack (active responders in channel)

Severity Auto-Classification

Determine severity from the collected data — do NOT ask the user:

Severity	Criteria
SEV1	Service outage or >50% error rate on critical path; cascading failures; >30 min duration
SEV2	Partial degradation; 10-50% error rate; single service affected; 10-30 min duration
SEV3	Minor impact; <10% error rate; brief spike (<10 min); limited user impact

Use the highest applicable severity when multiple criteria match.

Execution

Step 1: Prepare — Resolve Time Scope

See step1-gather-date-range.md

Detects the input mode from QUERY and resolves SINCE/UNTIL:

• PD URL/ID in QUERY → runs pagerduty-oncall first (step 1b), extracts timestamps → sets SINCE, UNTIL, SERVICE_HINT, TITLE_HINT, PD_INCIDENT
• Explicit time in QUERY → parses into UTC ISO8601 SINCE/UNTIL → all four sub-skills run in parallel
• Vague or empty QUERY → defaults to past 24 hours → all four sub-skills run in parallel

Step 2: Discover — PagerDuty, Datadog, Cloudflare, Rollbar

Orchestration depends on whether PD_INCIDENT was resolved in Step 1:

• If PD_INCIDENT is set: step 2a is skipped (data already collected). Run 2b + 2c + 2d + 2e in parallel.
• Otherwise: run all five (2a + 2b + 2c + 2d + 2e) in parallel.

Each sub-skill receives SINCE and UNTIL (UTC ISO8601) when available, ensuring a consistent analysis window across all data sources.

2a. PagerDuty — Incidents

See step2a-discover-incidents.md — Invokes Skill("pagerduty-oncall"). Skipped if PD_INCIDENT was resolved in Step 1b.

2b. Datadog — Observability Data

See step2b-discover-datadog.md — Invokes Skill("datadog-analyser"). Passes SINCE, UNTIL, SERVICE_HINT when available.

2c. Cloudflare — Traffic Analysis

See step2c-discover-cloudflare.md — Invokes Skill("cloudflare-traffic-investigator"). Passes domain and zone ID from CF_DOMAIN_ZONE if provided. Passes SINCE, UNTIL when available.

2d. Rollbar — Error Tracking

See step2d-discover-rollbar.md — Invokes Skill("rollbar-reader"). Passes SINCE, UNTIL, TITLE_HINT when available.

2e. Slack — Incident Channel

See step2e-discover-slack.md — Invokes Skill("slack-explorer"). Resolves channel from invoker context or $SLACK_INCIDENT_CHANNEL env var. Skipped gracefully if no channel is found.

Step 3a: Codebase Analysis

See step3a-codebase-analysis.md — Analyses git history across working directories, correlates with incident timeline from discovery reports.

Step 3b: Generate PIR via NotebookLM

See step3b-generate-nlm.md — Runs after 3a. Creates NotebookLM notebook, uploads all discovery and codebase reports, generates report, infographic, and slide deck. Returns notebook ID.

Step 4: Present Results

See step4-present-results.md — Displays PIR summary and provides notebook link for interactive exploration. Preserves the NotebookLM notebook for further queries.
