Incident root cause,
with a person in charge

An agent collects and correlates the evidence; a person owns the causal claim.

Ships as incident/rca

After an incident, an agentic step gathers logs, traces and metrics, correlates them with recent changes and drafts a narrative. The root cause is only accepted when a person signs it. Single-alert triage (security_triage/triage) follows the same pattern in one step.

The pipeline
STEP 01

Investigate

The agent collects logs, traces and metrics for the window and correlates them with deploys and config changes.

STEP 02

Accept the root cause

A gate holds the proposed cause until an engineer accepts or rewrites it.

STEP 03

Draft the post-mortem

A second agentic step drafts the timeline, impact and actions from the accepted cause.

STEP 04

Review and publish

The team edits and publishes. The draft and its evidence stay linked.

What the record keeps

The incident window, the evidence the agent read, the proposed and accepted cause, the draft, and the spend of each agentic step.

Hours to minutes

Evidence gathering and the first draft are done before the meeting.

No invented causes

The agent proposes; an engineer accepts. The gate is not optional.

Narrower questions

incident/blast-radius counts measured errors across the call graph; security_triage/triage proposes a severity and action per alert.

Ships as incident/rca, incident/post-incident-postmortem, incident/blast-radius and security_triage/triage. Log, trace and metric sources depend on the installed operators.
