Write a Blameless Postmortem for Agent Faults

A fault written up as a person to blame teaches the team to hide the next one. This skill covers blameless postmortems for agent systems: build the timeline from the logs rather than from memory, ask what made the fault possible rather than who caused it, list the changes that would have caught it earlier, and track those changes so the write up leads to a fix instead of a document that is filed away.

Commands

$ openclaw command add --name "postmortem" --trigger "/postmortem" --source "Ops Console" --message "Open a blameless write up that records what happened from the logs and what would have caught it earlier."
$ openclaw alert-rule add --name "Fault Without Write Up" --group-by "service" --window "24h" --action "Alert when a fault of real impact has no write up opened, which points at a lesson that will be met again."
$ openclaw auto-fix add --name "Open Postmortem" --condition "incident.severity >= high and not incident.postmortem" --action "Open a blameless write up and track the changes it lists, rather than closing the incident with no lesson taken." --approval "manual" --notify "#ops-info" --cooldown "1h"
$ openclaw runbook add --name "Postmortem" --trigger "/runbook postmortem" --tags "general,ops" --steps "Record what happened from the logs. Ask what made it possible. List changes that would catch it earlier. Track those changes. Keep it blameless."
