# Free sample — Golden-Path Incident Triage

**Skill ID:** `gf-ops-golden-path-triage`  
**Unlock:** $9.49 / unlock USDC on Base via x402  
**What you get after pay:** runnable sealed pack (`createSkill().run`) + workbook + templates  

## Summary

Golden-path triage playbooks that route agent and platform incidents to the right first checks, owners, and severity.

Stop thrashing in #incidents. This pack codifies a golden-path triage flow: severity ladder, first five minutes, signal map, and handoff templates so humans and agents escalate with shared language. Free outline + x402 sealed unlock. Not legal advice; no outcome guarantees.

## When to use

- On-call pages arrive with vague symptoms and responders waste the first fifteen minutes guessing where to look.
- Agent failures, payment webhooks, and edge outages all look the same in Slack and need distinct first checks.
- You want a trust-building ops standard so severity and ownership are consistent across shifts.

## Decision-grade outline (free)

1. Classify the symptom class (agent timeout, deploy regression, dependency outage, auth/secret, data integrity) before deep diving.
2. Run the first-five-minutes checklist: freeze risky deploys, snapshot timestamps, pull golden dashboards, confirm user blast radius.
3. Map signals to systems: which logs, traces, queues, and status pages answer the current severity in under three minutes.
4. Apply the severity ladder (SEV1–SEV4) with explicit customer, revenue-path, and data-risk criteria—no vibes-only pages.
5. Execute handoff: commander vs investigator roles, status cadence, and a close-out note that preserves timeline for the postmortem.

## Capabilities

- Symptom-to-system routing tables for agent, edge, payment, and API stacks
- Severity ladder with customer-impact and data-risk criteria operators can apply under stress
- First-five-minutes golden checklist that prevents deploy thrash during triage
- Handoff and status templates that keep commander and investigator roles clear

## Artifacts after unlock

- `golden-path-triage.md`
- `severity-ladder.yaml`
- `incident-handoff-template.md`

## Detailed description

Most incident pain is not the root cause—it is the messy first fifteen minutes. Golden-Path Incident Triage turns ad-hoc Slack heroics into a trustable ops standard. The pack starts with symptom classification so responders do not treat an agent tool-timeout storm like a full regional outage or a secret leak like a brief 5xx blip. The first-five-minutes checklist freezes risky deploys, locks a timeline, and points operators at a short list of golden dashboards and status pages instead of random log greps. Signal maps connect each symptom class to the concrete systems that answer severity quickly: queue depth, auth error spikes, CF edge health, payment webhook success, and agent orchestration latency. The severity ladder is explicit about customer impact, data integrity risk, and whether payment or unlock paths are degraded—so SEV labels stop being political. Role definitions separate incident commander from investigator so status cadence does not stall technical work. Close-out notes preserve timeline and decisions for a real postmortem. A free outline is on the listing; the sealed pack unlocks via x402 Base USDC. Operational guidance only—not legal advice, not a compliance certification, and no guarantees of faster MTTR or revenue protection. Use it so every shift speaks the same triage language.

  context: { skill_id: "gf-ops-golden-path-triage" },
  dry_run: false,
});
// result.ok, result.steps, result.artifacts
```
