[Extended thinking: This workflow implements a comprehensive incident command system (ICS) following modern SRE principles. Multiple specialized agents collaborate through defined phases: detection/triage, investigation/mitigation, communication/coordination, and resolution/postmortem. The workflow emphasizes speed without sacrificing accuracy, maintains clear communication channels, and ensures every incident becomes a learning opportunity through blameless postmortems and systematic improvements.]
Configuration
Severity Levels

●P1/SEV-2: Major degradation, significant user impact - rapid response required
●P2/SEV-3: Minor degradation, limited impact - standard response
●P3/SEV-4: Cosmetic issues, no user impact - scheduled resolution
Incident Types
●Performance degradation
●Service outage
●Security incident
●Data integrity issue
