AI agent for site reliability engineers
Incident Postmortem Action Tracking Agent
Every postmortem action completed and verified
What it does
After an incident the team agrees on good actions, but they often fade, and the same incident happens again. This agent reads the postmortem, extracts each action with an owner and a due date, and creates tickets. It asks for missing owners or dates before filing anything. Each week it checks ticket status and, where possible, verifies completion with evidence, such as a new alert rule existing or a config change applied. If a ticket is closed but the evidence is missing, it reopens it and tells the owner what is missing. It sends a weekly summary of overdue items. You approve escalations to managers. Edge case: an action that turns out to be no longer needed is closed only with a written reason.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Postmortem published
- Extract actions, owners and due dates
- Does every action have an owner and due date?If not: ask the incident lead to fill them in. Back to step 2.
- Create tickets for each action
- Weekly check of ticket status and evidence
- Is each closed action backed by evidence?If not: reopen the ticket and ask for proof. Back to step 5.
- Lead approves escalation of overdue itemsThe agent waits here for your OK.
- All actions verified and postmortem closed
How it decides
An action is done only when its ticket is closed and its evidence is found. Actions overdue by the set days are escalated.
- Escalate actions overdue by more than 14 days
- Close unneeded actions only with a written reason
- Link repeat incidents to earlier open actions
