Incident Postmortem Writer

Turn incident notes into a blameless postmortem: timeline, root cause analysis, contributing factors, and action items that actually prevent recurrence.

Write a blameless postmortem from these incident notes: {{notes}} (what broke, when, who did what, how it was fixed, impact).

Structure: Impact summary (users affected, duration, business cost), Timeline (timestamped, factual, no blame language — 'the deploy included' not 'X deployed'), Root cause via 5-whys (stop at systems, not people — 'engineer made a mistake' is never a root cause), Contributing factors (what made it worse or slower to fix), What went well, and Action items — each with owner, priority, and the test: 'would this have prevented or shortened THIS incident?' Cut any action item that's really just 'be more careful'.

Fields like {{ this }} are placeholders — replace them with your own details, or let Aria ask you for them.
