War Room Skill
Trigger
Crisis response and intensive problem-solving with multiple agents.
Trigger phrases: "war room", "crisis mode", "all hands on deck", "emergency fix", "critical issue"
When to Use
- Production is down
- Critical bug affecting users
- Time-sensitive deadline at risk
- Complex problem needing parallel investigation
War Room Protocol
1. Situation Assessment (2 min)
SITUATION: [what's happening]
IMPACT: [who/what is affected]
SEVERITY: [critical/high/medium]
TIMELINE: [when did it start, when must it be fixed]2. Team Assembly
- Investigator: Gathers logs, data, reproduction steps
- Analyst: Forms hypotheses, identifies root cause
- Fixer: Implements solution once root cause confirmed
- Reviewer: Validates fix, checks for regressions
3. Communication Cadence
- Status update every 15 minutes during active crisis
- Each update: what we know, what we're trying, ETA
- Single source of truth: shared state file
4. Resolution
- Fix implemented and verified
- Root cause documented
- Post-mortem scheduled (within 48 hours)
- Prevention measures identified
Rules
- Speed > perfection during active crisis
- One person/agent owns coordination (war room lead)
- All changes logged — no cowboy fixes
- Revert first, investigate second (if revert is safe)
- Post-mortem is mandatory, blame is not
