Claude Code Agent: Incident Responder

What This Agent Is For

Handles production incidents with urgency and precision. Use IMMEDIATELY when production issues occur. Coordinates debugging, implements fixes, and documents post-mortems.

Category: Security. Expected tool surface: Read, Write, Edit, Bash.

Agent Activation Brief

Use this asset when a task needs a focused specialist for security work. Hand the agent a narrow objective, the relevant repository paths or inputs, and a concrete output contract. Ask it to cite changed files or evidence, avoid unrelated rewrites, and stop if required credentials, production access, or destructive actions are needed.

Operating Boundaries

• Treat this as a specialist agent, not a general chat prompt.
• Keep write scope explicit before using it in a coding session.
• Run normal project tests or verification after accepting its output.
• Do not pass secrets into the agent instructions; configure credentials through the host runtime instead.
