## Description

Run an incident response workflow, triage, communicate, and write postmortem. Trigger with "we have an incident", "production is down", an alert that needs severity assessment, a status update mid-incident, or when writing a blameless postmortem after resolution.

Manage an incident from detection through postmortem.

## Usage

```
/incident-response $ARGUMENTS
```

## Modes

```
/incident-response new [description]     # Start a new incident
/incident-response update [status]       # Post a status update
/incident-response postmortem            # Generate postmortem from incident data
```

If no mode is specified, ask what phase the incident is in.
