Design On Call Rotation

Master on-call shift handoffs with context transfer, escalation procedures, and documentation. Use this skill when transitioning on-call responsibilities between engineers and ensuring the incoming responder has full situational awareness, when writing a shift summary that captures active incidents, ongoing investigations, and recent changes, when handing off mid-incident so a fresh engineer can take over the incident commander role without losing context, when onboarding a new engineer to the on-call rotation for the first time, or when auditing and improving the quality of existing handoff processes across teams.

Observability Designer (POWERFUL)

Manage active production incidents through detection, triage, mitigation, communication, and resolution with structured roles and decision-making. Use this skill whenever the user has an active incident, a production issue, a service outage, a security incident, or needs to plan incident response procedures. Triggers on incident response, production incident, outage, service down, site down, P0, P1, severity, downtime, on-call, incident commander, status page, postmortem prep. Also triggers when something is actively broken in production and the user is figuring out what to do.

Create and manage production Grafana dashboards for real-time visualization of system and application metrics. Use when building monitoring dashboards, visualizing metrics, or creating operational observability interfaces.

Stream live swarm events using the Monitor tool for real-time observability

Perform capacity planning using historical metrics and growth models. Use predict_linear for forecasting, identify resource constraints, calculate headroom, and recommend scaling actions before saturation. Use before seasonal traffic spikes or product launches, during quarterly capacity reviews, when resource utilization trends upward, or before budget planning cycles.
