Troubleshoot DevOps Incidents Systematically

Complex incidents often produce scattered signals across applications, infrastructure, and cloud services. This skill organizes evidence, tests hypotheses, and recommends immediate and preventive actions.

Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "devops-troubleshooter" from https://skillstore.io/skills/sickn33-devops-troubleshooter.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/sickn33-devops-troubleshooter/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "devops-troubleshooter". Checkout requests return intermittent gateway timeouts after a deployment.

Expected outcome:

  • Impact assessment: Confirm affected regions, request volume, and customer error rate.
  • Leading hypotheses: Upstream latency, connection pool exhaustion, or an unhealthy deployment subset.
  • Next checks: Compare release timing, instance health, dependency latency, and timeout metrics.
  • Recovery option: Route away from unhealthy instances or roll back after validating blast radius.

Using "devops-troubleshooter". Kubernetes pods restart with memory pressure during peak traffic.

Expected outcome:

  • Evidence needed: Restart reasons, memory working set, limits, traffic rate, and recent configuration changes.
  • Likely causes: Memory leak, undersized limit, workload spike, or excessive in-memory buffering.
  • Validation: Correlate memory growth with request volume and compare affected replicas.
  • Prevention: Add memory saturation alerts, load tests, and capacity review criteria.

Using "devops-troubleshooter". A deployment pipeline fails only in the production stage.

Expected outcome:

  • Compare production permissions, variables, artifacts, network access, and policy checks with earlier stages.
  • Identify the first failing operation and preserve its exact error context.
  • Test the narrowest hypothesis without bypassing security controls or changing unrelated settings.

What You Can Build

Triage a Production Outage

Organize symptoms, assess impact, and build a safe investigation sequence for restoring service.

Diagnose Kubernetes Failures

Analyze pod restarts, resource pressure, networking, storage, and deployment behavior using supplied evidence.

Prepare a Root Cause Review

Turn incident evidence into causal hypotheses, corrective actions, monitoring improvements, and postmortem inputs.

Try These Prompts

Assess a Service Problem
Help me diagnose [symptom] in [environment]. Ask for missing context, then provide a prioritized checklist with safe verification steps.
Investigate Kubernetes Restarts
Analyze these pod events, logs, and resource metrics for [workload]. Rank likely causes and propose low-impact tests for each hypothesis.
Correlate Distributed Signals
Correlate these logs, metrics, and traces across [services]. Identify the failure path, evidence gaps, and the safest remediation sequence.
Lead Incident Resolution
Create an incident plan for [impact and scope]. Separate containment, recovery, root cause validation, stakeholder updates, and long-term prevention.

Best Practices

  • Provide timestamps, recent changes, impact, architecture context, and representative evidence.
  • Validate one hypothesis at a time and record expected versus observed results.
  • Review every command and remediation step for permissions, scope, and production impact.

Avoid

  • Do not share secrets, private keys, access tokens, or unredacted customer data.
  • Do not apply broad configuration changes before confirming the likely cause and rollback path.
  • Do not treat plausible hypotheses as confirmed root causes without supporting evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this skill connect to my production environment?
No. It can analyze supplied evidence and use separately authorized tools, but it has no independent environment access.
Which platforms does it cover?
It covers Kubernetes, containers, AWS, Azure, GCP, CI/CD systems, databases, networks, and common observability platforms.
Does it provide exact troubleshooting commands?
It can recommend relevant commands when context supports them. Review permissions, arguments, and production impact before execution.
Can it perform root cause analysis?
It can develop and evaluate root cause hypotheses from provided evidence. Final conclusions still require environment validation.
Is it suitable for active incidents?
Yes. Provide impact, scope, symptoms, recent changes, and available telemetry so it can prioritize containment and recovery.
How should sensitive logs be handled?
Remove credentials, tokens, personal data, and unnecessary identifiers before sharing logs or configuration details.
