recipe-post-mortem-setup — Claude Code skill
This skill creates a Google Docs post-mortem, schedules a Google Calendar review, and sends a Chat notification. Use it after an incident when the same workflow should run each time.
npx skills add googleworkspace/cli --skill recipe-post-mortem-setup -a claude-codeWhat recipe-post-mortem-setup does
recipe-post-mortem-setup turns an incident review into a three-step workflow. It creates a Google Docs file with sections for the summary, timeline, root cause, and action items, adds a Post-Mortem Review event to Google Calendar, then posts a message in a Google Chat space.
The workflow uses gws docs +write, gws calendar +insert, and gws chat +send. You need the gws binary plus the gws-docs, gws-calendar, and gws-chat skills. Event times, the attendee address, the incident name, and the Chat space are passed as command parameters.
Install it when your team follows this post-mortem format and wants the document, meeting, and notification created together. Choose another setup if your review needs a different document structure or messaging flow.
What it helps with
- create a post-mortem document from a fixed outline
- schedule a review meeting for an incident
- notify a Google Chat space about the review
- coordinate the document, calendar event, and Chat message
Example prompts for the agent
- Create a post-mortem for [Incident], schedule the review for `2026-03-16T14:00:00`, and invite `[email protected]`.
- Create the document with Summary, Timeline, Root Cause, and Action Items, then notify `spaces/ENG_SPACE`.
- Run `recipe-post-mortem-setup` for the [Incident] review.
